"Flatly" weird is more like it.
What is weird is that you pretend to want to discuss serious matters then proceed to distort what is said and then fight about the distortion.
What kind of reasoning takes a statement about the historic freedom of Britain and turns it into support for a gun ban in Chicago or California?
There is no doubt that GB has historically been one of the most free nations in the world or that California has historically been one of the most free states. Yet, for me to say this FACT provokes you to claim I support gun bans. Bizarre is too mild a term for such a transmogrification.
