How about just not engaging in political or racial diatribe? It isn’t just the crazy, conservative uncle - don’t forget the know-it-all secular progressive college kid. Just eat, talk about family, enjoy your time with everyone, and don’t engage in topics of racism, politics, sexism, etc.

I suspect that Hank saw it was going to be a hit piece and did the smart thing and just dodged it. It really won’t matter, the PC culture is killing much of comedy as we know it. Shows like the Simpsons, South Park, etc. won’t be tolerated much longer. Standup comedians have already cited how they avoid college…

The GOP, the party of racists and child molesters.

Before I get several angry, slur-laden, and poorly-spelled emails from bimmer bros that need to prove that their 130,000 mile, salvage-title 335xi with the M-tech package is just as reliable as it was when they first decided to finance it for 96 months from their uncle’s buy-here-pay-here-lot, let me give you a little…

Asking a question of a Congressman is neither “true courage” or “true leadership”. Bravo to her for voicing her opinion, but that shouldn’t pass for “true courage” or “true leadership”. I also don’t see why the Congressman should “feel ashamed”. He stated what he supports (- although his reasoning seems a little…

Again, as I’ve stated repeatedly, you’ve taken to data points (low crime and strict gun laws w/geographic isolation or supporting laws) and drawn a cause & effect analysis, completely ignoring any other type of influencers or actual causes. When gun control advocates started losing the ‘tough gun laws means lower…

This is where the anti-gun people always seem to end up - invalid argument exposed as such, followed by insults. So much for gun control....

Your argument isn’t valid. Why would the Vegas shooter take a high perch w/o a gun. Just fill a truck up with a bunch of gasoline drums and drive it into the crowd. I don’t recall suggesting that solution to all problems is more guns. That is just the arrogance of the anti-gun people putting words into the mouths of…

Here is the thing that you can’t seem to comprehend: You believe that there is one obvious problem, when there is clear evidence from research from a wide variety of sources that say the problem isn’t that simple. I don’t make up the research, I just quote it. You conveniently ignore basic issue like eliminating gun…

Wait - are we not drinking Coke Zero anymore? Shit.

Are you serious? Someone is going to recognize you by eye color and body shape? It isn’t like he went around wearing all black tactical assault gear all of the time and, as an atheist, he wasn’t a frequent visitor to the church. The preacher said that the shooter had been at some church functions before, but caused…

Odd, I don’t recall ‘directly suggesting’ that I knew more about gun laws than anyone else commenting here. Now that you mention it, it is possible that I do know more, but I certainly couldn’t make that claim without reading all of the responses here. Additionally, gun laws vary greatly from state to state, so my…

Look, you’re mad; I get it. You presented an argument that was proven to be flawed but it the mental model that you live with, so you can’t accept that. Instead, when anything challenges that model, you have to immediately devalue the opposing facts by questioning their validity and, if that doesn’t work, just flat…

I’m not sure if I really have the time to respond to all of this, so I will try to keep on the major points:

I take it you didn’t read the various news reports that stated he was wearing a “skull” face mask that made it impossible to identify him.

Gun and ammunition sales dropped significantly with Trump’s victory. So much so that it presented a burden to the manufacturers as most had predicted a Hillary win and continued strong sales. The gun ownership level is fairly stable, but carry permits have increased over the last several years as, thanks to the media,…

I take it that means that you can’t articulate an even remotely valid counterargument so you resort to childish responses.

Why would I ever bother articulating a response to your post to debate you on the issues where you’re insisting on drawing correlation between two random data points and insisting that, not only is there cause and effect, but it justifies the basis of enacting laws elsewhere?

Still in denial I see....

Well, I wouldn’t call your summation BS, but I wasn’t aware that you had made specific points that you wanted me to address. I’m not sure why you’re bring the NRA into this - I’m not a member. I guess that people assume that anyone that isn’t strictly opposed to gun ownership is some type of NRA worshiper or…
