Correct. Good thing I never said that. That was a bizarre strawman you pulled out all on your own. I said that the voting is a replacement for fighting in a civil war, and that each person voting was equivalent to an armed person fighting for his side in a civil war. I never directly equated guns to votes, or bullets to votes. Those were silly responses form the peanut gallery.
Which is yet again, completely irrelevant to the topic of discussion. You continue to make statements irrelevant to the topic and wonder why people get confused when they assume relevancy.
The topic of discussion is whatever we're discussing. Circular, I know. Don't strain yourself thinking about it.
So, you don't believe in the terms "irrelevant", "off topic", etc.? Kind of hypocritical as you seem to call things "irrelevant" all of the time. However, you are partly right. It is based on what WE are discussing, not what YOU want it to be.
You're confusing people's knack and inclination for responses with a change in topic. If everyone were on the same page as you, then they would understand your analogies. Instead, your analogies and statements are independent to the topic at hand. Then when posters respond to your posts with the intent of relevancy, you accuse them of nescience. When in reality, this is nothing more than a ruse to appear misunderstood. To be fair, the common population here often do that on their own, but in this case you're intentionally constructing it.
This is why when you asked a specific question on how to implement gun control without violating the 2nd amendment you responded to posts that had their responses intertwined with your irrelevancy. However, you ignored my post which was concise and on topic. You have no intention of actually talking about the gun control in question, but tangents that you created which is akin to the current Republican tactics.
"As long as we can keep people talking about stuff that isn't relevant to the discussion, or even true, then we can avoid having to talk about the actual issues at hand!".
