and motor mouth should be used. But it didn't seem to phase the guy, who barely got riled up by it except when he eventually blurted out the usual nonsense of "As long as you don't take my guns away from me!" line.

Tweety twisted him into a licorice twist and the guy was oblivious throughout. At one point, the people you oppose appear so pathetic you almost feel sorry for them, almost.

The guy was trying to answer the questions put to him in a very calm manner

and- as usual -

Chris starts cutting him off

the problem is that it's like a lawyer badgering a witness

If you're going to have a discussion at least let the guy answer yes or no and then justify his answer.

The only reason to badger someone is because you are afraid that his justification may hold water
or you just want to appear to have control of the argument.

Listen to the guys logic and then go after him (if that what he choose to do)

I was embarrassed, also.

Tweety kept trying to ask him if he would sell guns to someone who had a history of violence or mental illness. He kept avoiding the question by claiming that criminals can get guns elsewhere and that the ACLU didn't like gun background checks. He also challenged the accuracy of certain polls without explanation. He kept avoiding the questions. It was pathetic on the gun nut's part. I don't blame Tweety at all and I think he gave him every opportunity to express his point of view. He had a guest on his show who was unresponsive.

If that's not funny enough. All of a sudden it's the wording in the polls that get the 90% wanting background checks.
