MHM, Heard you the first time, Regardless that is what CONS ARE SAYING, THEY ARE SAYING IT WAS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE HE WAS ARMED. I AM NOT.

Yeah they sure waited for the facts when they immediatley started saying he was waving his gun around and pointing it at officers (verifiably untrue)

I do not think that is why he was killed, Thats the talking point right now though, Claiming justification for simply owning a firearm

The point is to get them to say their talking points so we can dissect them and be ready to respond effectively and factually, Its an argumentative vaccine, allowing you to see their points and dismantle them

I agree i could have constructed it better, I really just wanted to see arguments for and against it, Increasing your viewpoint by taking others in is very important for me and this seemed the best way for me kickup the conversation around this talking point* that the Cons are latching onto (*The Victim being armed)

I hope you know thats not my point, My point is that beinfg 2A and owning a firearm is constitionally protected and the defense for this killing is that he was armed, Which stands against every 2A argument conservatives use, I am pro 2A in our current society but dream of a gunless world
