That's okay Buddy, I understand your inability to admit to making even the smallest mistake, yet another characteristic of the intellectually impaired. I guess you can't help it.
And you looked at the graph, and made the exact mistake they wanted you to..........you assumed "gun related deaths" had something to do with some inherent threat, when in reality, the majority are intentionally self-inflicted, and no threat to anyone else.......
somehow... you think your lil' process makes sense! You take the Brady state ratings, in isolation of their accompanying gun deaths, and you presume to match those ratings up against a separate source also providing gun death numbers. As I pointed out to you, as you continue to ignore, those two separate sources of gun death numbers don't match... they're not even close. Of course, the Brady state ratings are based on state level conditions and presume to reflect upon the respective state gun death rating numbers... again, I provided you the image from the Brady document YOU LINKED TO. Again, this following image showing a strong correlation:
as is your way, now highlighted several times in this thread, you just think you can pull numbers (now ratings in this case) and use them however you want to suit your agenda. Now, if you fully qualified the distinction/difference between the two separate sources of gun death rate numbers... and, in kind, properly rationalized your use of those Brady ratings, then others could evaluate whether or not they agree with your summary review/analysis and your use of the Brady ratings.
But you've done none of this! All you've done is take the Brady ratings, use them against YOUR preferred set of gun death rate numbers and offered up your "ta da" results! I don't have the 2012 numbers... but I expect these following
2013 gun death rate numbers should showcase the folly of your stooopid agenda driven failed ways (from 2012-to-2013, within the top 10 lowest gun death rate numbers, New Hampshire has replaced Maine... all other 9 states are the same):
note the sources of data Colpy! That's where you start... if you don't like/don't accept the gun death rate numbers from the document reference THAT YOU LINKED TO,
challenge those sources, the U.S. CDC proper & the U.S. CDC's National Center for Injury Control and Prevention. Until you do that,
your use of those related Brady state ratings/findings has NO credibility - NONE.
Question, waldo. You clearly despise Americans, thinking us all beer-bellied, pistol-totin', right-wing rednecks, so wouldn't the notion of us shooting each other be a good thing in your book?
Question: do you interpret anyone who questions the failings represented within the American Gun Culture as "despising Americans"? If so, there's a whole lot of Americans... despising Americans! Ya see what I did there, right... you see that, right?
Just like he fell for the globull warming scam.
your drive-by BS on the GW/AGW/CC subject carries no weight... you most certainly can't argue a damn thing. Other than your usual drive-by prattle or C&P wizardry, you have yet to support/substantiate anything. Of course, your continual fall-back when challenged in that regard, is to fall-back to your ever present "safety blankee". You know, where you say you don't need to support anything...... because you state/claim that, "SOMEWHERE" in past CC threads, the point/issue/statement/claim has already been shown to be true! :mrgreen:
