Reply to comment by bobtheplanet in Study uncovers a surprising level of heterogeneity in psychopathy among condemned capital murderers: While a substantial proportion of the offenders exhibited heightened psychopathic features, others showed no signs of psychopathy by HeinieKaboobler
Straw Man
A straw man argument attacks a different subject rather than the topic being discussed — often a more extreme version of the counter argument. The purpose of this misdirection is to make one's position look stronger than it actually is.

Like refering to your personal hatred for firearms when the discussion is about psychopathy among prisoners.

Come on. You’re better than this.
I went into detail explaining my positions on uncompromising gun zealots and the refusal to restrain access to firearms, but you know I didn’t say anything about ‘hating guns’
I own guns and I’m an avid sport/recreational shooter and your arguments are literally what I’m talking about.

Go back and read what you wrote and quit referring to people or groups with insults, you'll get along better in the world.
