Sorry Atheist Crusader, Chorophyll Jul 2012 #51
I asked to get a sense of your criteria. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #54

Not sure what your point is, as the article clearly debunks the "cop killer bullet" myth. PavePusher Jul 2012 #78
It does not appear automatic weapons were involved. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #21
Goes to show you how lethal, semi-autos are. You know the weapons the gun culture must have to live. Hoyt Jul 2012 #53
Are you advocating the banning of all semiautomatic firearms? Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #56
Please explain what you mean by "cop killer bullets". PavePusher Jul 2012 #72

I like to drink beer hack89 Jul 2012 #59
Every time I think I've seen the limit when it comes to absurd analogies apocalypsehow Jul 2012 #60
Misuse of alcohol = misuse of a gun. Both kill, correct? nt hack89 Jul 2012 #62
Only the person drinking HockeyMom Jul 2012 #64
And my post specifically referred to drunk drivers, correct? hack89 Jul 2012 #66
Incorrect. But, then, you knew that already. This doubling-down on an absurdity is just apocalypsehow Jul 2012 #65
So societal mores and practices have no impact on drunk driving deaths? hack89 Jul 2012 #67
Further stretching of the original absurd analogy, i.e, can of beer = loaded handgun, apocalypsehow Jul 2012 #70
You are very simple minded, aren't you? hack89 Jul 2012 #71
Now the resort to sheer *ad hominem*, right on cue and not unexpected. apocalypsehow Jul 2012 #73
