Yesterday at a Labor Day gathering the subject came up about the violence sweeping the black inner city. I proffered that the reason this mayhem was on the upswing was either the lack of police "stop and frisk" enforcement (as in Chicago) ... or the elimination of this previously-allowed option (as in New York City). A liberal friend then threw me a curve ball, "The problem then is the guns?" To which I swung and whiffed ... saying, "Yes."
You know the rest ... the friend's smug "gotcha" smile ... and me, being unable then to explain that I really meant "unregistered illegal guns." Once you have been trapped in such a rhetorical cul de sac, there are only two options: the Trump response, wherein you attack the questioner as being a hypocrite and go on to explain ... or, you "sigh!" and hope some listeners realize that any artless additional comments of yours will only be ignored. I chose the latter option.
Expect a similar trap to be laid by Chuck Todd for Trump in the upcoming first presidential debate ... at which point Hellery will likely descend into paroxysms of laughing and coughing.

Lakota arguments always end in violence and sometimes death. "Sigh" is admission of defeat. You lucky "friend" not tell everyone on Facebook.
I noticed no one in a headdress at that get-together ...
Some Lakota go under cover, wear a wire, record incriminating statements for upcoming progressive purge. Much like rapture, only conservative nabobs get disappeared.
