What is strawman argument?
Can you give an example?
Okay. Let's say you and I are discussing whether or not we should have stricter gun control laws. I argue that we should have more regulation in order to prevent mass shootings. Instead of addressing my argument directly, you bring up a hypothetical example of a person being attacked in their own home and needing a gun to defend themselves. You then proceed to argue against this hypothetical scenario instead of my actual argument, which is a misrepresentation of my position and a strawman argument.
