Gun worship is driving people crazy.

Find it here and yes it was freaking perfect malaise Jan 2013 #1
Oh thank you for that link zeemike Jan 2013 #40
You're welcome malaise Jan 2013 #82
Few could honestly claim to be giving an exact quote unless they googled first. merrily Jan 2013 #2
What is this Google of which you speak? Buzz Clik Jan 2013 #3
Actually, I'm the only one who has access to it. Forget I mentioned it. merrily Jan 2013 #8
That sounds like sorcery, and you must be a witch. It's best we make no further mention. Buzz Clik Jan 2013 #73

Once again it takes comedians to take on the sacred cows of our politics MightyMopar Jan 2013 #6
It sickens me RBKA extremists uses Afghanistan to justify having assault rifles MightyMopar Jan 2013 #11
100% correct...and you didn't use Google? malaise Jan 2013 #7
I did say "few." People with eidetic memories would be one of the exceptions. merrily Jan 2013 #9
You missed my point malaise Jan 2013 #10
No, you missed my point. Also, merrily Jan 2013 #13
I've posted this on two threads before, but I will post it again. merrily Jan 2013 #12

the circular logic of the right wing gun crowd... Javaman Jan 2013 #16
excellent observation! stole it for my Facebook page hope you don't mind! DebJ Jan 2013 #17
Yes, because everyone knows all wars are won only by fighter planes. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #19
Hey - that DID happen...wasn't that called "Red Dawn"? nt jmg257 Jan 2013 #32
I think it was called "Afghanistan" /nt demwing Jan 2013 #77
No bongbong Jan 2013 #52
Perfect only in its idiocy. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #18

LOL. Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay. DanTex Jan 2013 #27
Correlation, Correlation, and look at that, more Correlation. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #28
Wow, you read all of those studies in two minutes? DanTex Jan 2013 #30
Were any of those studies making a first time appearance on the DanTex Show? eqfan592 Jan 2013 #37
In other words, no. DanTex Jan 2013 #43
lol, I do understand the evidence. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #46
It's actually pretty clear that you don't. DanTex Jan 2013 #48
I don't know how you do it, Dan bongbong Jan 2013 #54
It's like all the NRA trolls went to the same propaganda camp! DanTex Jan 2013 #57
The Talking Points have two goals bongbong Jan 2013 #59
I have greatly enjoyed my stay here, Ruttersville Jan 2013 #75
Of course! It's all a conspiracy by "big gun control". LOL. DanTex Jan 2013 #76
LOL is right! Ruttersville Jan 2013 #78
So far, neither you nor anyone else has pointed out a single flaw in any of those studies. DanTex Jan 2013 #80
Oh please, try not to laugh. Try not to laugh if someone you love is a victim mountain grammy Jan 2013 #33
Argument from emotion. Truly the only path to a rational response to an issue like violent crime. nt eqfan592 Jan 2013 #38
No, let's argue about statistics instead...all so very cold and calculating. jmg257 Jan 2013 #56
Those aren't statistics. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #60
Oh, don't like those numbers? How about these? jmg257 Jan 2013 #68
Correlate this: Ruttersville Jan 2013 #79
No - its much better to pretend they did not ALL KILL USING GUNS!! jmg257 Jan 2013 #81
Oohhhhh...BIG mistake - asking DanT for evidence?!? jmg257 Jan 2013 #39
If only the supposed evidence he had showed anything beyond a lose correlation at best. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #42
Do you trust this? If there were no guns there would be no gun violence? jmg257 Jan 2013 #45
Except a reduction in gun related violence does not automatically equate to a reduction in violent.. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #47
Actually, reduction in gun related violences results in less death. DanTex Jan 2013 #49
You make a claim based on an assumption, then yell at me about not knowing the "basic facts." eqfan592 Jan 2013 #58
Insanity bongbong Jan 2013 #62
Umm, no the claim is based on statistics. DanTex Jan 2013 #63
A good article?????/ eqfan592 Jan 2013 #65
Do you have any criticism of it? DanTex Jan 2013 #70
We would have achieved exactly what we all want - a drastic reduction in gun-related violence jmg257 Jan 2013 #50
Excellent analogy. You hit that nail right on it's head. Alcohol and guns are alike. A Simple Game Jan 2013 #72
lol, Hi, DanTex. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #26
Sorry, but outside the NRA bubble, youtube videos don't qualify as scientific evidence... DanTex Jan 2013 #29
Peer reviewed studies that, at best, show a correlative relationship, are of no interest to me. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #35
Interesting that you have such strong opinions without actually reading any of the studies. DanTex Jan 2013 #44
" That the relationship holds up even after controlling for various socioeconomic factors" eqfan592 Jan 2013 #53
Again, you really need to read the studies. And also take a basic class in statistics. DanTex Jan 2013 #55
I love it, so you admit that the studies failed to address this major flaw... eqfan592 Jan 2013 #64
LOL. What "major flaw" would that be? DanTex Jan 2013 #67
What proposed gun control was that? His point was getting the talks about gun control going. jmg257 Jan 2013 #36
30,000 associated with guns, not violent crimes. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #41
Yes - 30,000 deaths, and who knows how many injuries, all related to guns. jmg257 Jan 2013 #61
And that is why you'll fail. eqfan592 Jan 2013 #66
You left out something important I think - you haven't said WHY it would fail(?). Do you jmg257 Jan 2013 #69
I too often used to call comedy sketches idiotic merely because.. LanternWaste Jan 2013 #71
so what's your proposal then for the "root causes", if anything? Blue_Tires Jan 2013 #83
