How do Prog jackasses keep… oh, right

Rule 3a: If your opponent scores a bulls-eye, blame it on favorable-wind privilege, and quickly bring up their misses from a previous match.
Rule 3b: If you miss, say “I meant to do that,” draw a circle around your hits, declare them bulls-eyes, and bring up your opponent’s privilege and misses from a previous match

Cicero? Interesting guy in interesting times*:
He justified the assassination of Julius Caesar.
Trouble for Brennan is, Cicero was assassinated, too.

Nope, nuthin’ I can do about that except avoid ‘em, but it got me to thinkin’…
what if there was some kind of remote-controlled power-off/disabling/sedating device (like a shock collar or ankle bracelet, not the decapitation kind which already exists in the movies*), which a court could require for high-functioning psychopaths, sociopaths, or other Democrats that aren’t already safely institutionalized.

(What? Yeah, reckon I do need a nap. It’s just… it’s just that her “spark of divinity” thing kind’a sprained my brain.**)

The debate must now drop any pretense to assault-weapons-only

(What? Nope, that argument won’t work, either. Both shotguns and revolvers are/were std-issue military weapons of war. When I first small-arms qualified in the AF back in ’70, it was with a S&W Combat Masterpiece .38-special revolver.)

UPDATED UPDATED

Oops, forgot to add my take:
Less-lethal is a stupid argument to have. It’s a semantics argument. Any weapon can be lethal.
• From the victim’s standpoint, lethal means 100% dead, whether it’s from a nicked artery or being blown apart.
• A predator might want you more than just dead, say as a meal or for terroristic effect; and he might want to kill more and/or faster, so he’ll have a different view of more/less-lethal.
• The media and anti-gun ghouls certainly react differently to different kinds of lethalities, especially with different categories of killers and the possibility of a political angle or viewership.

However, each individual fatality suffers the maximum lethality, 100% dead, no matter how many others are killed along with them, what weapon is used, or why.

The weapon isn’t the issue; unlawful killing is the issue.
Statistics aren’t the issue, either; one person killed is the issue.
One death is not less-lethal than ten deaths; ten is just more-alarming to those still alive.

Nah, it’s an ambiguously stated premise for an argument… and a stupid one to get into.
(Note: I totally avoided both utility and effectiveness as a part of lethality. See? Semantics and context.)

Now:
Are AR-15s more dangerous than shotguns and revolvers to more people beyond grappling distance?
Heck, yeah! The difference in massacred numbers could be horrendous (e.g. Las Vegas at that’s-what-rifles-are-for distance).

(What? Nah, I’d never do this to ya.)
