Tests show gun owners not as smart

[bullmikey]

How come liberals always have this need to close every debate by claiming they're smarter than everybody else and that there's really nothing more need be said about it?

It's like a bottle and a blankie for them. It makes them feel good.

As I said, when I find information of the error bars, I'll be sure to share them with you.

In the meantime, I'm pretty confident that the "criminal element", had they self reported, would have been grouped into the following bins (a) uneducted; (b) low income and (c) don't vote, so no party affiliation. ...I would also expect most to be in their teens or 20's.

(a) and (b) just further supports my position, with (c) an irrelevant factor. Thanks..

Man, you described John "Teflon" Gotti to a T. .........NOT.

I understand that as a result thereof , Obama has ordered the Secret Service, the US Marshalls and the security detail at his daughters' school replaced by smart UNARMED guards.

Thanks, that makes sense at least! Check out the Pew poll I posted earlier on the thread.

Pew has a better record for polling accuracy than Gallup

.

slap is on this crusade against so-called "assault weapons" and has demonstrated a carelessness with facts:

In one instance he posted a chart of the 12 worst mass killings trying to make some point about the effectiveness of the last AWB. But when reading the details of each of the 12 points on the chart, 6 of the twelve were committed using only handguns.

In another instance he claimed that the NRA was the most powerful lobby in Washington. After his claim was debunked he said that the NRA was seventh behind the AARP as though that somehow proved his point.

This latest "half sigma" blog contains a claim that dumb white people are more likely to have guns in their home. I can't seem to find whether this "half sigma" study is legitimate or just more BS propaganda.

I read that. Unbelievable.

Keep them coming genius.

Maybe they're right. I mean, trying to discuss anything with slipnot is an exercise in futility.

So, the test means what you want it to when it agrees with you yet somehow it doesn't mean much in other areas. Ok, got it. Thanks.

pretty much .......

the test is great when it shows that gun owners are dumb but any difference between other groups of people is meaningless .....

wonder how he did on the test .......

[slapshot]

wonder how he did on the test .......

Pretty sure better than you.

Work on the original ideas, will ya?

[Eastside Terp]

Pretty sure better than you.

dude, you got owned on this thread ........

[slapshot]

dude, you got owned on this thread ........

Yea, too bad you had nothing to do with the "owning".

Have you ever had an original idea?

You are a parrot, a follower. You live for the affirmation of other's.

lol, ok, sure ........

dude, I have destroyed you on so many points on so many topics its not even fun anymore ......

you are just a bitter, jealous old man .......

[Grindelwald]

You guys having fun?

Sure thing, sport.

Now back to you - point to one post of your's with something original? Something you simply weren't parroting someone else? I'll wait. While you're at it, show me the thread where you " destroyed me". This should be rich.

I'm hardly bitter or jealous....since you, and people like you, are simply amusing to me. I am laughing at you, and thoroughly enjoy jerking you around.

There are a number of folks on here that I disagree with, but I do respect them because they contribute with original ideas and facts. You don't. You are a toad, and add nothing to the discussion. It's not about being right all the time.

Oh, and how old are you, "dude".

[slapshot]

You guys having fun?

I am.

He's a toadie and enjoy getting under his skin....

You guys having fun?

It's the Tea Party's fault.

"Then I compared Wordsum scores (a 10 word vocabulary test which is a good proxy for IQ) to gun ownership for white respondents only (and also only for respondents born in the United States):

"Although the average white American in this sample set has a Wordsum score of 6.29, respondents with the very low Wordsum score of 3 were the most likely to have a gun in their home. As Wordsum score increases, the likelihood of gun ownership decreases."

I think they meant that legal gun owners tend to be white.

I wonder what the test scored would be like for black owners of illegal guns.

You are posting a thread saying whites are smarter than blacks?Wow! You are a racist.
