Out of curiosity, do you deny in science across the board, or just when the results are politically inconvenient? How do you feel about global warming? Evolution?

The CDC doesn't "call bullshit" on anything. The only reason you don't find the peer-reviewed science to be credible is because it conflicts with your political beliefs. These studies have been peer-reviewed, and are credible to anyone outside the NRA bubble. Calling something "garbage" is not a refutation.

And by the way, IANSA is just the web page hosting the pdf document. That study was published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medecine, which is a peer-reviewed journal. Details, I know. It's much easier to just believe whatever the NRA tells you, but I recommend trying to think for yourself from time to time....

Ohio: Buckeyes for Concealed Carry President Uses Handgun to Defend Family [View all] rDigital Sep 2012 OP

This sounds like a made up story- why would a white man call another white man "white honky"? kimbutgar Sep 2012 #1

You've never seen white wannabe "gangstas" with racial confusion? MercutioATC Sep 2012 #6

Who uses the word "honky?" nt Confusious Sep 2012 #51

Do you have another source for this besides "Students for Concealed Carry - Ohio"? SecularMotion Sep 2012 #3

But yet you have no problem posting articles glacierbay Sep 2012 #4

The police were clearly involved, why don't you call them? rDigital Sep 2012 #5

You say the police were involved SecularMotion Sep 2012 #7

I'm sure there's a police report. We can make that your responsibility to go and fetch it. rDigital Sep 2012 #8

Make sure you keep all these posts in mind the next time you consider calling a gun owner... Clames Sep 2012 #22

The story sounds suspicious, not the gun owner. I too own a handgun, but the story sounds made up. bluecoat_fan Sep 2012 #83

So was I. DanTex Sep 2012 #29

Really? Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #30

Yes, really. DanTex Sep 2012 #31

It was a survey, it included a lot of things. DanTex Sep 2012 #36

I said it was controlled for, not excluded. DanTex Sep 2012 #40

Controlled for Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #44

No, that's not what controlled for means. DanTex Sep 2012 #45

Well stats was a long time ago but... Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #78

For the third time, yes, the study controlled for prior criminal history. DanTex Sep 2012 #79

53.12% of victims had prior arrests. GreenStormCloud Sep 2012 #37

Right, and the effect of criminal history was controlled for statistically. DanTex Sep 2012 #39

How many of the victims had a PA License to Carry Firearm? GreenStormCloud Sep 2012 #65

Rebuttal: GreenStormCloud Sep 2012 #34

They controlled for criminal record, along with a host of other factors. DanTex Sep 2012 #38

Let me guess, the Brady campaign is the only sufficiently unbiased source of information 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #33

Peer reviewed studies. DanTex Sep 2012 #46

Ha . . .what?!?! 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #47

Peer-reviewed studies... DanTex Sep 2012 #48

Do you consider FBI crime statistics to be valid? 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #49

I presented two peer reviewed studies. You? DanTex Sep 2012 #50

If you must ignore the FBI's studies on this then I think we have nothing to discuss 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #53

FBI doesn't have statistics on this. DanTex Sep 2012 #56

Do you acknowledge the the FBI statistics show crime is dropping? 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #57

Yes. Do you acknowledge that a gun provides more risk than benefit? DanTex Sep 2012 #58

Excellent. Do you acknowledge that while it was dropping total guns owned 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #59

You ignored my question. DanTex Sep 2012 #60

You ignored mine multiple times 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #61

LOL. Well, ignoring the truth doesn't make it go away. DanTex Sep 2012 #62

So we have more guns and less crime 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #63

LOL. Ignoring me again. I guess when you have no evidence on your side, that's the only play! DanTex Sep 2012 #64

I have real world evidence glacierbay Sep 2012 #66

What you have is anecdotal evidence. DanTex Sep 2012 #67

Wrong. glacierbay Sep 2012 #68

Actually, I'm right. What you have is anecdotal evidence. DanTex Sep 2012 #69

Well glacierbay Sep 2012 #71

Your attempt at an argument here sucks. n/t ellisonz Sep 2012 #125

Yeah, that guy tends to make a lot of noise and then hide when evidence is presented. DanTex Sep 2012 #128

That's one interpretation 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #130

LOL. The "creationist" charge by the guy who's intent on ignoring the scientific evidence. DanTex Sep 2012 #131

You refuse to acknowledge 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #134

What are you talking about? DanTex Sep 2012 #140

You like that phrase 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #161

I suppose the irony is that given his username... ellisonz Sep 2012 #138

Yes, I agree, it is a low-education level demographic. DanTex Sep 2012 #141

It's clear neither of you read those studies 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #162

LOL. "pointing out issues" DanTex Sep 2012 #165

This is getting sad 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #166

You have yet to make a single cogent critique of any of the studies. DanTex Sep 2012 #168

Actually I've made several 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #170

Wrong again. DanTex Sep 2012 #172

I did answer your question. You just don't read very well. Clames Sep 2012 #117

So what's the answer? You deny science across the board? DanTex Sep 2012 #118

I deny your brand of opinion-based science. I quite enjoy the fact-based science though. Clames Sep 2012 #119

Lordy. It just keeps getting worse... DanTex Sep 2012 #120

Getting worse is your understanding of basic mathematics. Clames Sep 2012 #121
