Pro-gun myths busted

[CorvallisBMW]

Are you saying the numbers were made up? Because unless they were, then yes they are facts. Just because they come from a source that you disagree with on an ideological level does not mean that they are false, untrue, or otherwise incorrect.

Note that nothing I have posted could be considered an unbacked or unsupported claim of fact, let alone opinion. Everything is based in real data from scientific studies. The news outlet reporting that data may be liberal, or conservative, or belong to the Church of the SPM... but it doesn't change the underlying facts.

So what you're really saying is just because I have facts, data, evidence, scientific studies and hundreds of example cases, it doesn't mean I'm correct. Sure.... right :loco:

If you can provide me with any real data or evidence that runs contrary to or contradicts the current data or evidence, I would gladly review it with an open mind and without judgement. Hell, I might even change my mind if the evidence were compelling. I've been known to do it before. But if all you have are some pulled-from-your-ass talking points and long-debunked catch phrases, then please shut the fuck up :)

Says the guy who quotes wikipedia and mother jones for his "facts".

Just because you have the power of the infectious liberal media and the power of the internet doesn't mean that you are correct. Seriously, you made this huge thread. And how many people did you change? ~1 or 2, i mean really c'mon

That's a strange way to admit that you're unwilling to change your mind or examine your own views when faced with facts and data which contradict your beliefs.

How did you arrive at that conclusuon?

Completely false on both accounts. But good try.

But if anecdotal evidence is all you're looking for, Belgium has very few guns and very little crime, while Somalia has lots of guns and lots of crime. See? Using your logic, I just proved that guns cause violence.

Now do you see how stupid your reasoning is?

Check out Maryland's gun deaths, and they have the strongest gun laws in the country. Are you scared of guns? Is that why you post this thread OP?

CorvallisBMW, casting stones? Are you as black as the kettle?

kinda like citing from mother jones, its kinda like the info wars of the progressive left ;)

[CorvallisBMW]

Know what? You win. You're completely right, just like you and the rest of America.

Fixed that for you

;)

I kid, I kid... But seriously, if you really believe that you can cherry-pick 2 data points that involve hundreds of variables and then claim it points to a firm conclusion, you're far too dumb to understand anything that I might post as a rebuttal.

Guns are completely banned in Mexico. El Paso, Texas is one of the most heavily armed cities in America and is considered one of the safest places in the country. Explain that.

I read the op every now and then for a good laugh.

[BLACKCHARM88]

Wow, you're literally the first person to say that.

In real life, or in this thread.

You sir, are a master internet trolling. One internetz to you.

Wooo
