Your stance on gun control...

You see, the laws of the Wild West dictate that you equally arm the victimized wife and allow them to shoot it out to a fatal consequence. Think in terms of 'reactive' as opposed to 'proactive'.

I know, it doesn't make sense to me either.

Benjamin Franklin-

 

They should be adopting the game theoretical approach to arms races. Wife batterers would have to have inferior weaponry. That would need gun control in itself though!

Been rather busy. I was hoping for semi-retirement, but the other half has decided otherwise. Bleedin economists!

 

I believe if everyone owned a gun, no one would get robbed.

 

That is possibly so, however a greater number of people would very likely get killed and injured. I guess it depends which you value more - your ipod or your life.

 

There's evidence that burglaries and gun ownership rates are positively related. You might want to revise your beliefs

 

You value possessions over life?

How very, very sad.

 

Haha. I guess there is no need to think of something clever to say. The poll says it all.

 

"Knife Control"....That's Awesome.

Logically right. It is more easy to kill someone with a knife. Cheaper too.

Smith & Wesson .38spl 2" snub nose.....$500.00 (bullets not included)
Buck 3" blade folding pocket knife......... $29.95 (WalMart)​

 

Your research is disturbing.


(not unexpected though)

 

Disturbing too you maybe. But overall accurate.

I still am trying to figure out.....Who would call themselves an Uncle Meat.?

To.

Disturbing

Many things, I'm sure.

Throw away your Nickelback CDs, and buy some Frank Zappa.

 

You might have achieved your goal.

What exactly do you believe the "poll" says?

 

The majority support less gun control. It is primarily the collectivists who are anti-gun, and they make their living off of "democracy", *cough* *cough*. Obviously, no amount of propaganda will get Americans to give up their firearms. A beautiful thing. The poll says it all.

 

Ah,..... but the "majority" of whom exactly? Are you seriously thinking that this is an accurate sampling of Americans?....REALLY???

Apparently, you feel that by denigrating others that it somehow improves your own standing. Otherwise your slight is unclear.

Once again, I'll have to ask you what you believe this "poll" shows. It doesn't address "propaganda" in the manner you might ascribe and it certainly doesn't address anything about whether or not American gun owners would like to give up their guns.

Perhaps you might like to re-vote because you seem to have missed the whole concept.

 

No, you worded that improperly. I value MY Ipod more that a thief's life.

 

I try to use words with care and precision; my post was worded as I wished it to be.

 

You steal MY property and it's YOUR life that is in question, not MINE.

 

Is any poll a true sample of Americans? Since the poll is the medium of the thread, how about you post something real instead of stretching for your two step. The gun issue is dead anyway. Neither party will touch it with a 10ft pole. Both parties are working overtime just to try and prove they are different, that their fights are real, and somehow, that Americans still need them. A losing battle no doubt. The gun issue is dead.

 

Random sampling techniques are vital. Without them, you have guff

 

Ahhhh, actually,...YES. There are some good ones, and on the other hand there are some contrived ones like this one which you have amazingly supported with; "The poll says it all", even though it is nothing close to a random sampling.

You appear to be trying to play both sides of the fence. On the one hand saying that this particular "poll" "says it all", but on the other hand questioning whether "any poll [is] a true sample of Americans". Ironic bit of inconsistency, that.

Not to worry, I have been on record here as to my feelings of this poll sham.


So, once again, you didn't address your errors in your previous post as to a perceived "propaganda",... a perceived issue of gun owners giving up their guns,... and some odd reference to "collectivists".



Baseless hyperbole?

 

Good god man. I don't why you picked me. You're as smug as Reiver. Go back and forth with him. You can pat yourselves on the back all day long on how brilliant you think you are. My point was anyone could respond to ANY poll in the way you did when not liking the results. Obviously the really good sample polls are ones that go along with what you think. The gun debate in America is dead. Sorry my one post bothered you so much. Now pick someone else and bug them with your nonsense.

 

This at least made me laugh! Cheers

 

Awesome....Frank Zappa?

Another brainless useless liberal. Is he still around, or in some coma somewere?​

 

I'm sorry, friend, but I didn't tell you to post here with baseless hyperbole that you have been unwilling to defend. You have chosen to do this all by yourself.

Now then, you have chosen to defend this particular poll as not only accurate, but that it "says it all". At the same time you have said that "the really good sample polls are ones that go along with what you think".

So, to be completely consistent you might want to make a choice: Is this poll accurate or is it just going "along with what you think"?
