robertpaulson is an anti-gun whack-job who strives to disrupt the useful discourse we have in discussing these topics. He is completely wrong in his logic, completely wrong in his definitions, completely wrong in his convenient misinterpretation of the law, especially of the Constitution, and completely wrong in his arguments.
The best any and all of us can ever do is to Completely Ignore Him and let his verbal diarrhea simply circle the toilet bowl on the way down. I’m dumbfounded that some folks here still try to engage him in logical discussion. The activity defines the phrase “exercise in futility”.
The smart money is to completely ignore him. He will never go away but ignoring him reduces his disruption on the forum. He strives to destroy every thread on FR about the 2nd amendment, and everyone who posts comments to him, no matter how well intended, only helps him cause more damage than he can cause alone all by himself.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not reply to robertpaulson.
We’ve tried ignoring him.
Problem is, he posts that drivel practically every time any “what does the 2nd Amendment mean?” question comes up, starts an argument with the unaware, and presents a just-coherent-enough & just-impressive-enough premise that some people start to buy it.
It’s like leftists: much as we would like to ignore them in the hopes they’ll go away, they won’t go away, and without opposition will make society much worse.
