Since I disagree with you as to relevance of my example, I guess I have to contend that it was bad grief, David.
You posted a link to a Townhall story about an MSNBC anchor who received and promptly passed along a correction to…

"Robbers," by definition of the term, use force or coercion directly upon their victims to complete their thefts. Burglars also steal, but not in the presence of their victims. I'm guessing that you meant to refer to burglars as those …

In my view, some of the author's naively-labeled "simple" steps (if an action costs money or requires government action or community buy-in, it can be a lot of things, but "simple" is not one of them) would probably make a difference (e.g. metal …

I experience this MSNBC clip as that of a news anchor trying to understand what's happening - in the parlance of the day, it's called "breaking news." It's clearly a loud and chaotic scene, in which the governor's staff people are doin…

Since "gun reform isn't the next logical step," we can predict with high confidence that the next logical outcome will be more people killed in more mass shootings, and that the reaction from your side will be again, "Gun reform isn't …

In my view, that's garbage talk.
I don't consider the NRA to be evil. I tend not to put people or the organizations they create on a "good" / "evil" continuum. But I do consider the NRA to be a threat to the security of our soc…

I was impressed by the president's performance yesterday. Did you see the image one of the press pool photographers captured? White House staffers condensed his talking points to an index card! (the image is legit)

Thank you for standing accountable.
A significant reason our partisan politics are so destructive these days is that in their passions, people on both sides of the political spectrum exert far less impulse control over the way …

While Jan's advisory earlier in this thread seems to endorse your concern that this thread stay on the course you chart for it, David, the part of his advisory that you seem not inclined to heed is this...

I thought the CNN townhall was gripping, compelling television. Broken, wounded students and faculty finding strength and resolve in each other's company and in the truth of their common aims.
I thought Senator Marco Rubio exhibited great…

That is, you claimed the Bureau was more "interested" in investigating the Trump campaign than protecting students - it was a hybrid of the recent Trumpster community refrain that the FBI's distraction with the Trump investigation cont…

The "grisly" part of this, I guess, is the mangling of the truth about the FBI perpetrated by the right wing talking point you chose to include in your post.

As I have posted many times before, David, we're entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

The dossier originally ordered as oppo research by an anti-Trump concern, but most of whose costs were paid for by the Clinton campaign? The dossier compiled by a respected former British intelligence professional who grew so concerned…

You compile a list of the Clinton campaign's contacts with Russians, and I'll compile a list of the Trump campaign's contacts with Russians. Then we'll compare lists.

Whether people are "ok with innocent killing" is not at issue in the question I asked. If anything, I suppose, my question makes exactly the opposite assumption - that pro-life people who support distribution of abortion procedure vide…

You're probably right. The fact that SO many Trump campaign people just happened to have multiple contacts with Russians during a campaign when the Russians were working overtime to sow discord, chaos, as well as to elect Donald Trump;…

What I didn't miss is the fact that last week's indictment was a standalone document that imposed NO limitations on future special counsel indictments against other persons (e.g. today's indictment of a son-in-law of a Russian oligarch…

The issue in this thread is the Florida school shooting. The issue in our exchange has been the comparative threat posed in America by AR-15s and "big rocks and sharp sticks." I invite you to initiate the thread(s) of your choice regar…

Wow.
One of the most potent take-downs of the NRA I've ever read, C.M. I don't know whether to say "Thanks" or "Amen!" or "Damn them!"

Your approach to debate here assures that you will leave the conversation convinced of the truth of your claims because when you're challenged to backup your claims, you simply bow out by thanking the other person for his or her "best …

One way to affect the problem - no ONE step is going to solve it! - is to reduce the proliferation of guns.

The "explanation for (CBS News') side-by-side self-contradiction" is that there is no "side-by-side contradiction." Instead, the problem is PC Roberts' careless - I'm thinking, partisan-influenced - reading/hearing of the Deputy Attorn…

The red herrings, Gao Lu, are the knife attacks and bomb scares you raise as if they compare in both threat and reality to the effects of mass shootings, when they don't... at all... at least not in the United States. …

I asked you whether the Florida gunman could have killed 17 and injured another 14 had he been armed with "rocks or sharp sticks," the weapons to which you had referred in a previous post. In an apparent attempt to demonstrate that the…

If you want to start a new thread, we can discuss the Bible's inspiration. Such a discussion seems out of place in this thread, which is nominally about the NRA's role in a school shooting tragedy.

"Not one's choice for pastor" - is that because of his serial lying? or his extra-marital flings with porn stars and Playboy bunnies?

I then asked you for links to prove that "a lot of Americans and parties like the Democrats and Republicans did exactly" what the Russians did: try to influence what, for them, was a foreign election.
