Right, so you think clinically insane people and toddlers should have guns.
I think the only valid point you have is that insane people shouldnt have guns; toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to. So if you proposition is that we only limit guns to insane people, I agree to this compromise.
Got it. Parents get to decide whether or not toddlers should have access to drugs.
Strawman
Nope, logical inference based on what you said.
Or does "toddlers parents should be in charge of what they have access to" mean something non-literal? Was it metaphorical? I doubt it.
If you're going to make sweeping general statements that apply in every situation, that's not my fault.
Nope, drugs are directly harmful, a child could hold and carry an unloaded weapon with no issue. Or they could shoot a gun that shoots something non lethal.
I said 'access,' not 'use.' A toddler cannot be harmed by picking up a bag of meth any more than they can be harmed by an unloaded weapon.
So it's okay to let them do that, right?
Of course they can... Have you not noticed how cops wear gloves when they deal with drugs, the residue on a bag could literally kill someone.
But if your gun control counter negotiation is no toddlers or insane with guns, I will accept that counter offer.
Yes, I have noticed that cops buy into all kinds of propaganda bullshit about drugs.
And apparently so do you.
Cops also pass out when they touch a tiny bit of fentanyl despite fentanyl not being able to be absorbed by the skin that quickly or easily.
I guess this was fake...

You do see that she's wearing gloves in that footage, right? So apparently your claim that they wear gloves to stop that is not true.
Also, if you're going to post that video, you may want to watch this video about why that video is bullshit- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1daCmMFSJg
Use some basic logic. If fentanyl was that strong, a tiny bag would last for years.
Gotcha all coincidence... She had a medical emergency from searching a car. Sure thing!
I guess you know more than those medical experts, right?
Where did you get your medical degree from? Did your medical school not cover psychosomatic disorders? I'd ask for your money back.
Medical experts watching a video... Are you aware that there are more than this one time?
Medical experts who know how fentanyl works.
Again- where did you get your medical degree from and why did it not include the concept of psychosomatic illness?
Again, Are you aware that there are more than this one time?
Do I need a medical degree for knowing exposure to potent drugs causes people to get drugs into their system? I guess if I am claiming a toddler cant be harmed by mild exposure to drugs I would need to keep believing that.
Again. As in it's the second time I asked you.
And yes, you do need a medical degree if you think you know better than the people who explain how it gets into their system.
But you sound like the typical conservative who thinks their gut brain knows better than any of those dumb scientists.
Cool you didnt answer a single one of my questions. Have an amazing day!
