Post your favorite analogy for how wrong the gun control argument is or good "comebacks" when debating an anti.
My personal favorite, when discussing high capacity magazines or "assault rifles" and their necessity for the average joe is to ask the person if they have a digital camera. More than likely they own one. Ask how many pictures the memory card stores. The answer will likely be in the hundreds. Respond with "would it be fair to ban digital cameras and high capacity memory cards because child pornographers use them to commit their crimes?"
In short, "if guns kill people, then cameras cause child pornography."
There's not much debate left in them after that...it is a perfect analogy.

Dirty lib: O no what happened to the other?
ME: She shot the guy
Dirty lib:.......
ME: So what were you saying about gun control?
I usually resort to the most childish and basest form of the Socratic method effort I can find. I ask "Why?" And I ask it repeatedly.
Where the conversation goes from there depends on how rational the other party wants to be in the discussion.
Why?
The only problem with that analogy is, that most liberals would consider the female that shot the rapist, to be more evil than the rapist.
I read an article about how a woman was on trial for murder because she shot a would-be rapist/murder/evil-dooer...what a societyThe only problem with that analogy is, that most liberals would consider the female that shot the rapist, to be more evil than the rapist.
