Profound Point

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington bolt action 30.06 right in the doorway. I left six shells beside it, then left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the boy across the street mowed the yard, a little girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of the house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well, you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people! The media wrong, or I am in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

The United States is third in murders throughout the world. However, if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans, the United States becomes fourth from the bottom of the list for murders. These four cities also have the toughest gun control and all four are controlled by Democratic leaders. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data right?

Well, if you'll excuse me I am off to check on my spoons. I hear they are making people fat.

I wonder why that was???

I'm a thinking that you do not live in Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC or New Orleans. Apparently the guns are a lot more belligerent there.

Classic Indigenous copy and paste there (no link of course). Do you actually believe that? If that statement is utterly wrong (in all respects), does that not make you pause about exactly how 'profound' any of what you pasted was?

You bet, I don't do any thinking for myself, I have bought the party line hook line and sinker.

Oh wait a minute the party line is to think for yourself. On second thought, I'm not sure about the cities but it seems quite plausible. And I figured if it weren't one of you mutts would correct it by consulting the one true touch stone at Snopes. That aside I think it is funny especially the part about the spoons. Hell San Francisco has outlawed sugary items within the city. Can you believe that shit?

Along those same lines, I went to the range with my son on Thursday. There is 10 shooting booths and approximately 18 people were shooting. Brass was flying all over the place

Guess what, not a single person walked out with a gunshot wound or died...

I wonder why that was???

Because you missed every single time.

So did you check the accuracy of the part I highlighted?

It does? Well, that about sums you up.

Snopes? You can go to any list of murder rates and you will notice that the statement is complete bullshit.

So prove him wrong by posting the data that disproves it!

So do you disagree with the point I am making? And I'm not proving him wrong. It's not his comment. It is, as usual, someone he has copied and pasted without crediting.

Anyway, go here and click on the first excel document:

I do disagree, you called him out and said the statement is "complete bullshit". Now since you called him out, YOU need to step up and prove it!

Have you looked at the link?

Bigsby says

Of course you won't, trolls never provide proof when they disagree...

Really? So I take it that UN statistics are not acceptable to you and that you would prefer to believe some random Joe on the internet?

Out of interest how many murders occurred in those four cities in the most recent data? So you subtract those numbers from the total and you actually believe that would drop the US to fourth bottom? As you would say, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Er, no, because it's not true (as I presume you are actually referring to the ban on sugared soda in vending machines on city property).

Ok they taxed it in Berkeley (.01 per oz) and outlawed it on SF city property.

Which is, of course, not remotely the same as what you posted. And you're still wrong; they banned sugary soda from vending machines on city property. You can walk into a shop/restaurant... and...

What about that murder rate comment you copied and pasted? Want to now admit that it's a nonsense?

The fact that I, a person who doesn't even live in the US, could see straight away that what you had posted about murder rates was an utter nonsense demonstrates that you don't give a fuck about actual facts.

That's NOT the same one dude, but nice try... I like the first one you posted better, before you quickly deleted it when you got "outed"!!

It rather points to the fact that it is a completely made up piece though. Profound indeed.

No, it points to what type of idiots you liberals are, but being so dense, the hypocrisy of the article went right over your head...

Here's a hint again...

'... the hypocrisy of the article..' You have to laugh.

And it is a made up piece, apparently, in every respect.
