We've seen how much weight the pro-gun community gives your opinions so who cares if you're convinced? Besides, gun owners have been politely pandered to for 20 years and it's done nothing but dig us a deeper hole.
I am deeply offended at how you have generalized Russian trolls. You should be ashamed of yourself for talking about them as a group without knowing the argument style of each and every one of them first. Until you've accomplished that impossible task, I'm just going to dismiss everything you say using this deeply manipulative out.
Love it. You're openly admitting there's gun owners in your life who are "seriously off their rocker" rednecks but you're going to support them anyway because some guy on the internet hurt your feelings (and that's more important than other people's lives)
We both know you were always going to support the gun owners no matter what I said, you're just doing the "it's your fault I'm a bad person so you should change" tactic beloved by domestic abusers the world over.
You are making some wild assumptions, but whatever.
Russian trolls follow a very distinct pattern and it's very similar to yours, actually. Insult, insinuate and make broad general assumptions about what other people think. It's not generalizing or stereotyping as much as it is pattern matching.
You are basically babbling and twisting comments, so conversation is pointless. Honestly, I thought I had blocked you months ago. K bai.
