yes you definitely did use "IF"
How about this:
If he had no licence would he still be considered a scumbag until he's proved to be a scumbag in court of law or will his non-scumbag status be revoked?
If the allegations are true, then he is certainly not the first non-licence holder shitbag to supply guns to shitbags.
Fixed it for you @systolic, notice how I used "IF"
Hi @systolic,
I did not realise you were directing the question to me as you'd not inserted @Cordite.
Anyway, I actually read quite well. To quote your post:
Systolic: "IF he had NO licence would he still be considered a scumbag until he's proved to be a scumbag in court of law or will his non-scumbag status be revoked?"
This first sentence has an "if" which concerns a negative, "if he had no license". Your default assumption thus appeared to be that he had a FAL, though that could at a stretch be taken to be ambiguous if it was stated on its own.
Systolic: "If the allegations are true, then he IS certainly not the first licence holder to supply guns to shitbags".
This, your following sentence includes an "IS", which logically implies the guy is a FAL holder as you see it (as there is no mention of allegations / accusations of him being a FAL holder).
So, you clearly imply the accused is a FAL holder. Based on what? Does Airport Security get special briefings?
An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch
If Systolic works for airport security then that would confirm many of my beliefs about airport security
