How can we regulate guns ... ?

Well, let's be accurate, it has strict gun controls for America. That's rather like being the most strait-laced swinger at the orgy.

Liberty is specifically listed in the Declaration of Independence as an inalienable right. So why are there prisons?

Ah, I see. So, for example, merely by existing, "9-11 Truthers" provide evidence that Bush was behind 9-11. After all, they say so, and there are many of them.Or maybe a bunch of crazy people saying crazy stuff isn't evidence of anything except their need to take their meds. Whereas by contrast it is possible to find evidence for real historical events that actually happened, isn't it? Well, you could kick off by providing evidence of the Great British Genocide which followed the introduction of more stringent gun laws in 1997, or the Great Australian Genocide which followed the introduction of more stringent gun laws in 1996. Or you could show that when the Nazis weakened the stringent gun control laws imposed by the liberal Weimar Republic, this helped to prevent genocide in Nazi Germany, and that no genocide occurred in Germany until the German people were completely disarmed by the Allies in 1945.

They have a reason to do a bad job. They're funded by the gun industry, every sale is another dollar in the pocket of their paymasters. And the money of crazed loons is just as green and crinkly as everyone else's.

What's more, if we give every schoolchild their own security detail, that'll solve our unemployment problem too! Several times over.

But why is it impossible for you to produce real evidence?

Your fantasies do not actually explain why you can't find any real evidence.Perhaps it's because it doesn't exist, or perhaps it's because you're too lazy to look. I'm guessing that the fundamental reason is that it doesn't exist, but that you're also too lazy to look. But if what you were saying was true and known to be true, there would be primary sources for it, and if you weren't lazy, you'd be able to find them.

I cannot find evidence for the crazy things that stupid liars have made up, because there is no evidence for the crazy things that stupid liars have made up. This is why I do not go about asserting the truth of the crazy things that stupid liars have made up.Now, what's your reason for not producing evidence for your assertions?Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Well, I wasn't going to be the first to suggest it.

The cogency of your argument is matched only by the elegance of your literary style.

Well, it's a strange way of putting it. Would you say that the government has taken away your heroin?

I never said I did. What I asked was: has the government taken away foreveryoung's heroin?Clearly it hasn't, because foreveryoung never had any heroin. (Unless there are some interesting details of foreveryoung's biography to which I am not privy.) It has taken steps to make it hard for him to acquire heroin, but it hasn't taken his heroin away.We might as well speak accurately --- unless we have some interest in obfuscating the situation.

America's safest branch of JC Penney ...

Is it the usual made-up stuff? They should have used their guns to defend themselves. Oh, wait, then they'd all have been shot instead.

If they don't keep a record of the figure, how do you know how low it is?
