Oh, my.
That’s a lot of area to cover in just a single post.
I don’t even know where to begin.

Oh, apologies.  I was covering several days worth of material.  I should have realized that since its longer (and minus the pretty pictures) than the books you borrow from your children, you'd have difficulty following.  What would be an acceptable word limit be?  10?  30?  Am I already over?

Clearly, we all know they do:

Tip Leads Bomb Squad To Man Suspected Of Making Bombs In Richmond Home To Harm Muslims

Quote :
A neighborhood in Richmond had to be evacuated Sunday when police say a man was making explosives in his home with the intent of harming the Muslim community.

Police received a tip from a caller on December 17th who said a man was making the devices and threatening to harm Muslims.

But now, what if this had been the two California shooters a week before the incident, and instead of explosives, it was an army's worth of guns? If they were all legal, and there was no discovered link to terrorism, no harm, no foul?

Which would have been useless had bomb possession not been illegal, leaving him free to murder unimpeded.  It's specifically what allowed law enforcement to intervene rather than just send him on his way.

I have said numerous times that bombs should be illegal (is there some magic number that I have to reach in order for you to realize that?), but making them illegal does not magically eliminate them.
But since they are illegal, the authorities have something to charge him with.
See how that works?

He could have murdered unimpeded with or without the law in place.
It was only dumb luck (the tip) that prevented it.

   No. What's asinine is thinking that anyone would intentionally "minimize" or "whitewash" the spectacularly horrific events of 911 in any way.  I knew people that died in the attacks, jack.  So Fuck you.

Heretic wrote:
   The terrorist attacks of 9/11 are, unfortunately for you, a statistical outlier that skews the actual trend.

No, there’s no whitewashing involved regarding 911.
It’s been written off as a mere “outlier”, so there’s no point in even acknowledging its victims.
And if you have a problem with that, take it up with Heretic.

   Happy Holidays.  Here's to hoping your family can tolerate another holiday with their crazy, racist, Republican uncle.

I thoroughly enjoy when someone calls someone else a racist (with absolutely zero substantiation, I might add) and goes on to declare himself the winner of whatever debate happened to be underway, based simply upon the fact that he called the other person a racist (or something like that – I don’t know – it keeps getting harder and harder to figure out the lunacy of the left).
Believe it or not, once you go out into the real world, those with my views are not considered to be outlandish in any way, and I’m looking forward to the holidays. That might seem strange to a shut-in who lives and dies by what he sees in bar graphs, pie charts, and on MSNBC, but dat’s a fact, Jack.

I've acknowledged this.  Repeatedly.  Please feel free to reread the thread if you're confused.

Yes.  It's something I explained to you several pages earlier prior to this nugget of wisdom:

happy wrote:

Progress!  Looks like you can be taught after all.  Clearly you do want restrictions on explosives because of the possible damage to both life and property, in the same way I'd like better restrictions on firearms.  Which brings me (back) to my next question(s):

I wrote:
So why don't any of your arguments against gun control apply to explosives?  Why do restrictions on explosives work but won't on firearms?

And/or

I wrote:
If you have absolutely no clue whether they will work or not, why be in favor of them?  Why don't any of your arguments against gun control laws apply here?

You went off on your crazy tirade about 9/11 before you had a chance to answer.

happy wrote:

Thankfully, yes.  It is a shame law enforcement can't do more.  How did you put it?

happy wrote:
Temporary safety is at least preferable to no safety, isn’t it?

I'd say accidental safety is better than none as well, yes?  However, you've brought the same point up about deterrence in discussing firearms emphasizing the futility of any legislation.  Why is it not the same here?

Had you kept reading, I also wrote:
It's a reductive argument that ignores the rest of the data set relevant to the discussion. . . .  The entirety of the data doesn't support your conclusion, which is why everyone who actually does it for a living disagrees with such a myopic assessment.

Good try, though.  But I can see why you didn't want to address the substance of my post.  It must be terribly difficult for you to keep up what with all my "bar graphs and pie charts".  

happy wrote:

Staggeringly lazy...  I'm not the "winner" 'cause I called you a racist and I've certainly not declared myself such.  The only thing I have been doing is formulating a coherent, logical argument and supporting it with facts, research, and evidence.  I think it's quite telling that you believe doing so requires one to be "a shut-in" which is probably why you've never tried anything of the sort.  And contrary to your belief, rebuttals to your "truth bombs" do not require hours and/or days to prepare, but very little time at all, really.  But by all means, continue your tantrum, Donald.

Unfortunately he's built up an impregnable immunity to that based on relying on wingnut sites like Breitbart and Fox news for all his information. Perhaps try a catchy slogan instead,aimed for a simple mind like "guns don't kill people,yada,yada,yada"
