It's easy to win arguments when you make them up yourself to knock down. That comment is responding to and inaccurately paraphrasing me. I'm right here. I suggest you rebut something I actually said.

Not inaccurate:

> The original AWB proposals were sane and straightforward: they intended to regulate any semi-automatic long gun with a detachable magazine.

It's interesting to see you write as if the very words in your quotation aren't there to compare with how you paraphrased them. A bold choice!

Being truthful is not bold. Or maybe it is from your standpoint.

If you don't think that the category of semiautomatic longguns that have detachable magazines is not overreaching, then more power to you. Sorry, I mean bless your heart as they might say in the South.
