A solid right uppercut to the solar plexus, followed up with "Hey, don't like getting your ass kicked? Get a CCW!" isn't a bad choice either, and drives the lesson home with a certain skin-in-the-game je ne sais quoi. 8-)

But there is nothing wrong with a hearty "F*** you!" delivered with elan and disgust.

Pretty much.

Not much you can say to someone that is out right lying or living in some fantasy land.

I independently came to this exact same conclusion some months ago.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Yep. They aren't worth trying to reason with or deserving of any more attention than a gnat buzzing around my head.

Its not a matter of worth. They are either incapable of being convinced by reason, or else unwilling to be. Either way calls for an emotional, rhetorical response and not a logical one.

Either way, they're still not worth the effort it required to sort through their drivel.

You don't reason with a buzzing insect. You drop a book on its head and make it go splat.

Of course that does not mean the uninformed should not be educated.

Heck, I was rather taken aback when my wife thought my son needed to report to someone in the government that he sold his AR to some guy. She just didn't know and heard all the crap from antis. I never even thought I needed to tell her otherwise.
