Comment on The Wrong Way To Argue About Assault Weapons by Herschel Smith
From Comments for The Captain's Journal

Vermin,
She uses the wrong argument. She argues that there are only cosmetic differences between assault weapons and those that are not classified as such. That's dead wrong. She argues that it increases regulation, and that's beside the point. She should have argued that it is unconstitutional.
Was that simple enough for you? I tried to go slow so that you will get it this time around.
Socratese,
Yes, exactly. The definition presupposes the consequent.
