Person 1: “The NRA is an association that is more focused on lobbying using foreign assets than they are focused on gun safety and proper use of guns.”

Person 2: “OH, so you just want to take all my guns away huh? You dirty liberals are all the same.”

Person 2 either can’t see the nuance in person 1s opinion or refuses to see it, so instead of arguing what was actually said Person 2 makes up what they think Person 1 is in their head and argues against that.
