I need help putting this into words
I think the phrase is, "Commence firing!" --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:06, 1 December 2008 (EST)

* It seems that "to open fire" can mean (a) to respond '''properly''' to an attack by beginning to shoot, as well as (b) to be the first of two sides to start shooting. This ambiguity provides openings for fallacious arguments. I had hoped to clear it up by declaring that ''open fire'' only means idea (b), but I was wrong. So I need another way to '''say''' the same thing. Please help me. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 15:59, 1 December 2008 (EST)
