No you’re actually at step 0.2: “argue about the definitions of words used in describing the problem”.
It’s really weird to me that you don’t seem to think that understanding what you’re asking for is important
If you don’t understand what we are talking about in regards to gun violence at this stage of modern history you have no business debating anyone.
I understand that if you’re advocating for a ban on assault rifles, which have been banned since 1934, you’re not helping anyone but your opponents.
Sure, boss, and when somebody cries about their kid getting hit by a truck on the way to school, you can show up and say, “Well, akshually, it’s a crossover SUV, so it has a unibody.” I’m sure that completely changes the issue. /s
If there’s an epidemic of people being killed by pickup trucks, and a bunch of dipshits are on the internet screaming “we have to ban SUVs!” despite SUVs already being illegal, then yes, yes I will.
