@TomWellborn@universeodon.com @DCR Maybe from your perspective. But from my perspective, it highlights and satirizes the inability of anti-gun activists to fully grasp the issues they attempt to discuss.
In that sense, it does actually provoke some laughter.

But the reason I'm taking issue with this line of reasoning is because, as a gun owner, I believe that this country does need some national common sense gun control laws. Only, I don't think we'll ever get any, because anti-gun activists keep (pardon the pun) shooting themselves in the foot by misrepresenting arguments.

The satire you posted *could* have taken these factors into account... and been all the better for it. Instead, it essentially made a straw-man out of the opposing argument so it had an easier target to hit, thus severely weakening its own impact.
