Can you post a source for this claim?
You mean in my reply to you not posting the numbers that you said you looked at?
So not only do I have to spoon feed you the numbers, I have to spoonfeed you the numbers even after you claim to have checked them, without actually posting what they were or where you read them.
Sounds like you either lied about your fact checking or are holding me to a standard you don't hold yourself to so that you can get upset.
Probably not a good insult to throw around when you're being functionally identical to an anti-vaxxer.
I'm so sorry. How dare I call you out for pushing dangerous misinformation without also cradling your head in my lap, stroking your hair and telling you that you're my special special boy.
That's surely the problem and not that the pro-gun community is self-absorbed, backed by a powerful lobby group and will literally threaten to kill people if they propose changes to gun laws.
For killing people
Nope, but the legsl gun owners sure do do and they don't seem to be able to control them.
Nope, you're thinking of legal gun owners again
Which is a shame, because thats a massive improvement over things like "mutilating a room full of children beyond recognition after they were legally sold to a teenager, despite known red flags, by a company that targets their advertising at teenagers"
Yep, legal gun owners again. But don't worry, gun lobby groups have publicly stated those people should keep their guns, no matter their history of domestic violence.
All linked, as per your demands because the important part of this conversation -- far more important than the lives of innocent and vulnerable people -- is that it happens in a tone and manner that you have personally approved.
