Quote from Tsing Tao:

Yes, which begun with "I would think". See how that works? Introduce an idea as just that - an idea. A thought.

Don't present it as fact, and certainly don't write an article claiming it is - without sources.

Now you try.

Ok. The NYT article quotes two or three polling agency results. So to dismiss AK's post of it as anecdotal, after you give an anecdotal story of your own, is laughable. But maybe you were cracking a joke. Which is fine. Dry humor.

LOL Ricter is still trying to learn how real social interaction works. He was always taught that government told one what to say and do and believe. Thinking freely wasn't the realm of the average person.

Quote from Lucrum:

I'm sure some government entity somewhere is aware of my hand guns. So far as I know they're not aware of my long guns. If anyone from the government should ask, "they were all stolen earlier today and I was just about to pick up the phone and report it. Oh sorry, I never did write down the serial numbers. Oh yeah, go fuck yourself too." [/B]

So you write on the internet of your secret guns? And you talk on the internet your opinion your country is so scary and dictator? Not really. You have your freedom to talk on the internet. You have freedom. But you complain you are so afraid of dictators and government, and your president Obama.

Huh?

You have your freedom to talk on the internet. You have freedom.

Yeah and I'm exercising it, does that make your vagina itch?

But you complain you are so afraid of dictators and government, and your president Obama.

So...what's your point?

Where has your bleeding heart political correctness gone? They're not criminals, they're just undocumented and disenfranchised.

Doesn't post any sources at all. Refers to the "General Social Survey" survey. I can refer to broadly ambiguous data, too. Then it says "according to data analyzed by the NY Times" aka, itself. Then talks about a Gallup survey that shows higher ownership and a "more moderate rate of decrease", according to the Times.

“There are all these claims that gun ownership is going through the roof,” said Daniel Webster, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. “But I suspect the increase in gun sales has been limited mostly to current gun owners. The most reputable surveys show a decline over time in the share of households with guns.”

That decline, which has been studied by researchers for years but is relatively unknown among the general public, suggests that even as the conversation on guns remains contentious, a broad shift away from gun ownership is under way in a growing number of American homes. It also raises questions about the future politics of gun control. Will efforts to regulate guns eventually meet with less resistance if they are increasingly concentrated in fewer hands — or more resistance?

Hell, it even says "detailed data on gun ownership is scarce". The whole article is nothing but supposition.

There's nothing conclusive about any of it's information, and the conclusion the author is coming to is that of his/her own interpretation. The data available offers no conclusion - because it is quite incomplete and "scarce".

Anecdotal:
(of an account) Not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.

Can't be based on facts because there simply aren't enough available.
