WOW, that is a classic straw man fallacy.

. . . ludicrous
Would you have our soldiers/LEOs relinquish their firearms ?

@FearlessFly I think others understood what I was getting at.

@JackPedigo In terms of Critical Thinking, I would say that's a lame excuse.

. . . you could have included a 'disclaimer'

@FearlessFly It's only one person's opinion and I won't buy it. One thing about the more reasoned people on this site is that many of will agree to disagree.

@JackPedigo . . . hard not to notice that you haven't claimed/provided evidence that you comment was NOT a straw man fallacy.

@FearlessFly Not an appropriate response in this context.

@LenHazell53 One major problem with the military ploy is that the military has strict gun rules. I was in the military and the only time I held a gun was in basic. No average soldier carries a weapon on base unless there are special circumstances.
Thanks for the appropriate reply.

Thanks for the update...

parents are probably still young enough to replace her.

@miklthetaz You can never "replace" a deceased child, even less so one senselessly murdered.
One may have other children and love them equally, but "replace" a loved one... never.
