    I’ll politely ask you to be civil, please.

    Also, that NRA article does list it’s sources, it’s just not hotlinked. The main issue (if it is one) is that the article assumes you have some knowledge of gun-related issues, and know where the common sources are.

      Although I appreciate the calls for civility, civility also includes people responding in good faith and being respectful of the people discussing with them. When one person breaks that contract, all bets are off. You can’t only ask for civility from one side of the discussion without looking at what led to that response in the first place. If you’re serious about what you’ve said elsewhere, you need to do better to foster respectful, productive discussion.

      I see so many people struggling with the article because of their own bias or their assumption of what I believe.

      I have yet to state an opinion on the article.

      To be blunt I’m not a fan of Lott. I think he starts with his conclusion then works backwards but that is my own bias.

      His work has been replicated and peer reviewed. The issue I have is he seems to come to a different conclusion than other studies but they do appear to be solid studies that are well done.

      One of the critiques always makes me chuckle. People complain that he’s an economist. To me it shows they don’t understand what an economist is or what a PhD is. As someone with a doctorate degree. It makes me chuckle what people think a doctorate degree actually is.

        No one is struggling with the article. It just doesn’t say what you say it does and you’re completely sealioning everyone here with your fake civility.

        If Blamemeta actually had any care for fostering discussion about conservatism here, he wouldn’t be telling everyone else to stay civil except you while also excusing your dishonesty.

          I didn’t say anything about it. I’ve never asked you for more citations. You’re the one who is sealioning. All the information is in the article but you seem confused by it. I’m not being dishonest. You’re being a little nutty to be quite frank. Talking about we. Claiming I made a statement about it when I didn’t.

          I posted the article and provided experts from you Mr attempt to sea lion. I didn’t add anything to it. You went to fantasy land and created a strawman after your attempt to sea lion failed.

          So strange. Be well

            You clearly have a mental issue that you should get checked out. Everything you just said is demonstrably false.
