Scott Adams on Gun Control


Scott Adams is at it again. Remember, with him it's subtle, very subtle, and you have to read between the lines. He's really getting very edgy in this one. This is from his blog here [link]:

Why Gun Control Can’t Be Solved in the USA

On average, Democrats (that’s my team*) use guns for shooting the innocent. We call that crime.
On average, Republicans use guns for sporting purposes and self-defense.
If you don’t believe me, you can check the statistics on the Internet that don’t exist. At least I couldn’t find any that looked credible. 
But we do know that race and poverty are correlated. And we know that poverty and crime are correlated. And we know that race and political affiliation are correlated. Therefore, my team (Clinton) is more likely to use guns to shoot innocent people, whereas the other team (Trump) is more likely to use guns for sporting and defense.

According to Michaelson, Asuka, within the context of the larger narrative of Neon Genesis Evangelion, symbolized a “warrior” against an insidious “global Jewish conspiracy,” epitomized in the series...

Outlefting the Left

How do leftists behave? Well, they're rude, obnoxious, and they lie about everything. For decades, the right has reacted to the first two by being extra polite and decorous, and to the last by telling the truth. We need to keep that last up — our big advantage over the left is that the truth helps  our agenda, while it severely restricts theirs. But we need to rethink those first two. Being knee-jerk polite by nature, rightists all too easily fall into Mr. Nice Guy mode. I can't get that image out of my head of Romney not knowing quite what to say when Candy Crowley basically called him a liar during his debate. What he should  have said was: "Are you here to moderate this debate, or are you here to assist Obama?" Or in a more satyrical fashion: "Tell you what — how about you and I debate, and Obama  can moderate?" Trump would have answered one of those ways. That's why he won. We all got tired of voting for Republicans wh...
