I've got a pro-gun control coworker trying to engage me yet again, this time about the failed Toomey-Manchin vote. He drums up countless "what-if" scenarios expecting me to have an answer or remedy for each one of them. A common argument he's been bringing up the past few weeks and again today are private sales to individuals with "mental illnesses" like schizophrenia and such. I think you can see how the what-if"s snowball from there with no end. He asks me if guns should be sold to such individuals. Obviously I don't have an answer for every damn scenario. I won't say much and just let him burn himself out before going back to work, but that comes off as "backing down" and looking to have no logical responses.
My bottom line question is for suggestions on how to deal with this question and other what-if questions that are inevitably gonna be fired at me.
