- sorbus 16y agoYou're using anecdotal evidence to refute anecdotal evidence. A bit surreal, at least to my mind.
- joh6nn 16y agoheh. fair enough. i suppose i could go through the trouble of pulling out the various facebook threads in question, and redacting the names etc., so that i can back my argument up, but frankly, i'm not interested in doing that, and i doubt you're interested in it either. if i'm wrong and somebody really really wants to know about the fights i've been getting into about the history of the second amendment, i'll do the leg work, but i figured for a quick comment here it wasn't necessary.
