Yep, you nailed it. It's all about that smug superiority because hurr durr I know gun words haha stupid libs

This is the shit that gun owners are talking about. They are trying to legislate/restrict/ban guns and they haven't got the slightest fucking clue what they are talking about. It's insulting.
"I want to increase tax breaks on depreciation and i want to triple deductions."
Can you tell me what a deduction is? Or depreciation?
"Uh... Depreciation... is like the value of something that you appreciate a lot. And a deduction is something you understand, so i want to make sure the american public understands 3 times as much"
"wat."
"GOD, UR SO SMUG ABOUT THIS SHIT. WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I KNOW WHAT THESE TERMS ARE. Jesus christ. These fucking accountants being dickheads acting like it matters if I know what these terms mean... hahah what a bunch of jackasses."
When in reality this dude is a goddamn terrorist spokesman telling other dudes who want to kill folks how to find the means to do so.
I think this is an area that needs to be looked into, if these people are prohibited buyers it could be solved by allowing private sales to use the federal background check service (which they have no access to now.) But if they aren't prohibited then gun show or not it doesnt matter, they could walk into a gun store and buy them.
Words fucking matter. Making fun of people saying that you actually should use the right words and terms for things is fucking dumb. Especially when the people misusing the terms are trying to use those terms because they sound worse and therefore can scare people into backing their legislation.
How would you feel if they tried to ban late term abortions? Maybe its ok to you, maybe its not.
Now how would you feel if they commonly referred to abortions at 3 months as "late term abortions?" Blatantly, hilariously wrong, insultingly wrong, and it only serves to push their agenda because of uninformed people going "holy shit we need to stop late term abortions, 100%. I agree with senator dickfaceusingtermsincorrectly!" Not realizing that his bill would ban abortions at 3 months.
