humans/men are made from tissue, water, bone etc etc etc, it is literally impossible to build a man from straw... what does that fact do for your argument?

but regardless i already said that i was expressing my observing a trend in gun control advocates and that's all

I don't see how it is a strawman or irrelevant to the topic at hand. 

Tulipanzo said, "only rising due to the negligence of U.S. government to act and ban the fucking things."

Any ban must be enforced, which would in fact criminalize millions of people who refuse to comply and force cops to confront possible gun-owners, leading to many more deaths of otherwise innocent people. 

Before jumping in, how about read the conversation? Thanks!

give up all your guns and let these guys take all of your responsiblity

they only care for your safety... so why not?

No thanks...I don't trust my life in the hands of a stranger.

(Not commenting on what either of you have said before this, just the bolded).

That's precisely why the word "strawman" is used. It's usually used to refer to someone arguing against a person that doesn't exist, just the vague representation of one. Thus, a strawman (since, as you say, real people aren't made of straw).

I expect you're joking, but it's the internet so eh :D

oh i see, so he wasn't seriously saying that a man could be made of straw but that i was arguing against an imaginary person

but that's not true because i was only posting my observations of a certain group of people i wasn't really arguing with anyone, just expressing my experiences is all

why didn't he just say imaginary instead of straw though? that would have made this less complicated

but come on the government has put them there to keep you safe, why don't you trust them?

don't let their increasing brutality towards citizens give you the wrong ideas

these are good men, believe in them, please

you seem paranoid, next thing you'll say is that you don't trust the government and that would just be preposterous

Like I said, I choose to not put my life in the hands of a stranger....Why do you?

Fair enough. Strange that you would not include that in your quote, but fair enough. I often see individuals jumping to extreme minority opinions as a way of handwaving all the middle ground of what "gun control" can mean, but I'll agree that "ban the fucking things", while not exactly well defined, can really only be interpreted one way.

I've personally never seen that opinion and I am someone who frequently advocates for gun control. I mean, gun control advocates tend to be generally on the "anti-war" side of things. But overall, you are basically just throwing non-sequiturs into the conversation in order to demonize a group of people you disagree with (or agree with? I honestly can't tell).
