78. facts are fallacies?

Who knew?

Iverglas, you are too intelligent and well educated not to realize the fallacy of your OP.

Facts are fallacies. Hmm. New one on me.


I would have thought that you were "too intelligent and well educated" to keep pretending that statistics relating to deaths/injuries are an answer to the question of whether there is a problem associated with the possession of firearms of this nature by people engaged in criminal activities or, heck, by yer ordinary garden variety asshole.


You persist in making the false representation of crime statistics as providing a complete picture of CRIMINAL MISUSE of firearms in general or any particular kind of firearm. You know perfectly well that virtually NONE of the "anecdotes" I can come up with appear anywhere in those statistics.

You apparently don't want to acknowledge that the mere POSSESSION of a firearm by someone engaged in, for instance, drug trafficking IS criminal misuse of the firearm.

And I just don't care.

But don't let me stop you from doing some more of that fine copying and pasting. Maybe you could intersperse it with a couple of cat pictures.
