"Trying to justify or defend that set of positions is absurd Sans and you know it. You even say so in your 4th paragraph."
I did not try to justify or defend any "set of positions" anywhere in my post. Let's look at the important part again again:
"With that said, I agree the shop that sold the guns should not be liable in any way, nor should their employees feel guilty. They sold the weapon in full compliance of all applicable laws, so how a buyer uses it isn't their fault."
Let's also look at the paragraph that seems to upset you:
"For the record, I'm not a Democrat or a liberal or a gun-grabber, and I support gun ownership, but I'm not willing to listen or read any strawman nonsense.
What's wrong with that? I did not call for, or advocate, any new gun regulations. You propped up a strawman and I knocked it down, just like I've done here.
