Aw, thanks man. Not perfect here bud, just real, real good.

Well the correlation keeps growing Samm.

“States with more permissive gun laws and greater gun ownership have higher rates of mass shootings,” the researchers conclude. “There is a growing divergence in recent years as rates of mass shootings in restrictive states have decreased and those in permissive states have increased.”

The lies of the gun huggers are crumbling around you.

No. There is a growing correlation (allegedly.) They still have produced no evidence to show that more guns is a cause.

Yes, but those are my friends and associates. We talk about our guns with each other. I know that several of them have 2, 3 even 4 or five times as many guns as I do (I have more than ten and fewer than 100 … that’s all you are getting on that.) And even then, I do not know the exact number they have (many of them don’t know how many they have themselves) and with the exception of a handful of guns, I do not know the specifics of their inventory. I have no clue about how many guns most of my neighbors have because it’s none of my business. You clearly have no idea about the gun owners society.

Well I know that I was once again 100% correct that given the stats on household gun ownership in America there are plenty of homes that have quite a few. Thanks again for backing me up on that with your volunteered info about your friends.

I don’t know what it is that you think you have proven. We have always known that some people own more guns then others. My anecdote was to show that having more guns has not caused me or any of my friends and acquaintances to commit a single murder, let a mass shooting. And it does not change the stat shown in the link that I posted that shows 43% of households have at least one gun … the same as it was in 1972. Your strawman has failed miserably.

Yes, but at what? Certainly not logical debate.

lol - You cling to that Samm. I’ll go by the article I posted back to you showing that there has long been a discrepancy in that reported number based on whether the survey was done in person or over the phone with the more responsive in person surveys coming in at 30 - 33 percent.

I’m never sure if you don’t understand things or just choose to ignore what you don’t like.

You really don’t know what a strawman is, do you Samm? lol

It’s okay man, math is hard.

“The more responsive poll.”

Do you really think that people are going to open up to a stranger at their door when asked about guns, than one on the phone?

The one deemed more reliable in general

By whom?

Yeah, that’s why I only have a minor in math instead of a major.

[Ramblin_Man]

What?

Yet they produced no evidence to support their contention. Scientific? My ass.
