I have always believed the number of guns a person has is inversely proportional to the sum of their fears.

With that kind of snowflaking it's little surprise they value the 2nd Amendment over the 1st.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

No amount of guns can make people be polite when they're online and you can't shoot them.

More guns -> fewer/lesser fears?

Clearly they don't have enough guns to conquer their fears of criticism.

Gimme a break. I said it was a belief of mine, not a law of the universe, though it does have a mathematical maxim sound to it.

It means to me is most of the people I know who have guns talk too much about being inordinately afraid of getting robbed, assaulted etc.. In other words, beyond what I here most folks saying on those issues. People that have lots of guns tend to talk about their guns most of the time and why they have them all. But remember this was stated as being relevant to my experiences.
Donald Trump has no clue as to what "insuring the domestic tranquility" means

If what you're trying to express is that people with guns are afraid, and that people with more guns are more afraid, then the term you want is "directly proportional", not "inversely proportional".

Now that you mention that, umm, correct. *looks back and forth, shifts weight between feet*
It was a trick question to see who knows any math around here. *eyes dart around room*
Yeah, that's it. :blush:

Yes, especially when said posters say "I technically agree with you, but look over there!!"


Not sure why you felt the need to make the text small, but it's good to see that you gave up on defending CNN. This is the Trump MAGAThread. Trump disses CNN constantly, sometimes rightfully, sometimes not. My point was that even though what they said was technically valid, their actions were still... sad. And that was my point.

In response to said point, you proceeded to launch an attack on the Haab family, whose son acted heroically during the shooting, perhaps as part of his JROTC training. Said attack was nothing but a pathetic attempt to make CNN look good. As amusing as your feeble attempts to make CNN look good were, their viewership numbers tell the real story. Those aren't very good.

2.5 mil vs 1.9 mil vs 900k. Maybe if CNN would actually give the people the chance to select the questions they wanted to ask, rather than selecting said question for them, they could stop being in the junior league. Nah. It's also funny how you, Gravlen, continue to ignore the part about Veterans, but then again, I guess that's irrelevant to you.
