See, you're doing it again, rather than refute my arguments you appeal to Godwin's Law, a favorite tactic of those who...well espouse views comparable to those of Goebbels or use his techniques. Goebbels himself, the smartest of the Nazis, couldn't have come up with a more clever and superficially impressive defense; just make certain comparisons, whether justified or not, against the rules.

Listen, if you don't want to be compared to Nazis then simply don't talk like one, easy enough. Understand?

Calling a drink "vente" instead of "extra large" is unAmerican.

Yes, outliers exist in every statistic. Your state is an outlier... not the norm.

Thanks for the input omatic, but I prefer not to edit my thoughts. And btw, first time was to correct a blatant error on my part, second time was to add a post script. Chill the heck out. And pubic forum means I too am allowed to post my thoughts freely (and as many times as I want to).

I am reminded once again of the masterful job which the NRA has done in completely squelching any gun regulations after the massacre at Newtown.

It's "Venti" and I'll be getting one myself.

That's a falsehood.

The 31 states that have fewer gun laws which allow private citizens to carry concealed weapons have, on average, a 24% lower violent crime rate, a 19% lower murder rate and a 39% lower robbery rate than states that have more gun laws including forbidding concealed weapons.

Indeed, the 9 states with the lowest violent crime rates are all right-to-carry states.

I didn't tell you to edit your thoughts, I suggested that you should edit your posts because in a forum, posting multiple times in a row is rude and annoying behavior. Why are you telling me to chill out? You're the one replying to Ted with curse words. Take your own advice.

Yes, it's a public forum, but you should express those thoughts in a respectful manner.
