    The only “bad faith argument” is you pretending not to understand why that makes zero sense.

    The difference is guns are better suited to destroying a specific target. But these people obviously aren’t targeting anyone at all.

    If you lined up a street full of ISIL terrorists, the truck would be the far more effective weapon.

            No, that is NOT what I said. You obviously have no interest in a good faith discussion so I’m not going to engage with you any further. Goodbye.

              You may not have technically said it but you were implying it. Or maybe you just meant that a truck is comparable or equal to guns? Why exactly are you bringing up trucks? You are trying to distract from the very valid and obvious fact that guns are designed to kill and some gun platforms are designed to kill people in combat situations and those designs that are picked by the military for very good reasons are also picked by these people for pretty much the same set of reasons. A truck, given the right specific set of circumstances can be devastating and yet the military and these scum bag shooters pick guns because they are designed to be a highly effective killing tool in pretty much any circumstance. Goodbye goober.
