      Dismissing someone’s argument over semantics is trivial objection that doesn’t engage in the actual argument. You understand perfectly well what the argument is, and that it’s addressing a different issue than categories of armament.

      Plus, declaring your opponent an “incompetent fool” to dismiss their argument is a bonus ad hominem fallacy.

        It is not semantics. People honestly don’t know what defines an assault rifle vs a semi auto. Also looking incompetent isn’t me saying that to dismiss their argument it is them simply looking like they don’t know what they’re talking about and thus their own actions make them able to be disregarded.

        You really don’t understand logical fallacies or how they work it seems.
