    Task =\= murder

    When I hire a task rabbit is that the same as hiring a hitman? When I open task manager should I see process “kill my cheating ex”?

    But sure, get hung up on asking them to define every word in their statements, t

    Did I do that? Yes or no question.

    that’s a good way to not have to actually engage with the concept.

    I am fine with engaging with the topic, I did so. He/she clung to definitions while I was blunt and pointed out that a gun is not a screwdriver and should be banned or regulated just like we do with any weapon.

        It was always a definition argument. Oh and that wasn’t actually ironic just thought you would like to know.

        Now instead of trying to score rhetorical points why don’t you answer literally any of the questions I asked in the previous comment. I know it’s vital to defend your BFF Rittenhouse but you don’t do a good job defending him when you don’t actually engage with what is being presented.

          This whole tangent began because you asked for someone to prove that weapons are tools. Dictionaries report common usage of terms, and a gun absolutely, 100% meets the criteria for the top definition for “tool”. I’m literally giving you the information you asked for. If you didn’t want a definition for tool, why would you ask for someone to prove that a gun is a tool, one of the necessary steps of which is to agree on a definition?

          Keep going off, though.

              Do I, though? I’m pretty sure I read it right.

                  Okay now we’re getting somewhere. What definition of tool do you propose we use, that includes claw peen hammers and other “obvious” tools, but excludes firearms?

                    Noun, a device that aids in productive work.

                    Now my turn to ask a question, which one of these images is not like the other
