You're going to have to be more specific. What has he falsified?

NO its if citizens own firearms people will be killed by firearms. Only way to stop that is to completely eliminate firearms.

Lets say we can do that. Then in the following year 5000 people are murdered by knives. What do we do now?

Well, getting stabbed to death is not nearly as bad as being shot to death.

You're defining the term wrong, again. Sigh.


Ok you're getting overrun here with differen topics.

Lets simplify so you can respond to each point.

1. Why is the AR-15 a military weapon?

2. What specifically has Lott falsified and why does he continue to be a published author for the University of Chicago regarding his book "More Guns Less Crime"?

3. You said you'd like to see "Stricter gun control laws". Please explain what you'd like to see.

Here, I'll sum up BamaATL's argument:

"I don't think you should have guns because I said so."

But I expect nothing less from this board's number one totalitarian statist.

I don't think BamaATL's argument comes from a place of malice.

I think He/she is empathetic to people who are victims of crimes they think can be prevented by removing the tool. It's a psychologically comfortable assumption to make. I just want them to explain their position better and get away from the tired stereotypes thrown around this board all the time.

Then you haven't been paying attention to the other threads she posts in.

Although I wouldn't necessarily call it malice, more along the lines of "I know what's best for you, so you should be made to obey."

Tons of arrogance, a bit of narcissism, topped with a health dose of smug.

When you feel like you're arguing over the very lives of innocent people, I think it's easy to get to this place.

From her point of view, we are in the way and preventing people from stopping this violence.

Maybe not. It's nearly always rooted in ignorance and emotion, though.

Lots more people are murdered with firearms because it's easier to successfully kill someone with a gun than with a knife for most people.



You are conflating the two. You are more than likely to be knifed in the USA than you are to be shot. Statistics prove this. Now of course you are going to have more deaths in a shooting than being knifed.

This doesn’t help your argument. And you are lying through your teeth, yet again.

this paper didn't have independent results
as i said, not relevant. the results speak for themselves.

They don't, but sure, let's see a link of whatever you think bolsters your inaccuracy
you are seriously acting like you've never seen a study that contradicts gun control? not even the ones posted on this board?

Everyone agrees the 2nd amendment has some limits
what the frick is this?

our lax gun control laws are killing more Americans
says who? are you not even reading this thread?

We can reduce the number of Americans killed by enacting stricter gun control laws
as if chicago just doesn't even exist. heck, there is even a thread about how australia's gun control laws may not have been effective like libs think they are

this blithe hand waving of facts makes it hard for me to not put bamaatl in category 4

Charlatan's a little harsh. He just manipulated survey data and refused to share his results. And everyone who's replicated his work has found the opposite result. That's why he published in a book instead of a peer-reviewed journal.

What has he falsified?


His survey results that show the number of DGUs per year.
