I did and it didn't convince me.

I have seen nothing that demonstrates that gun control laws result in an increase in gun crimes (or any crimes for that matter). Many of the "studies" I have read in this thread do not prove that gun control laws result in an increase in crime. They simply say, "X gun control measure was passed and, thereafter, crime rates increased." That is quite different from proving, "X gun control measure was paased and, therefore, crime rates increased." But, I will bow out of this discussion as there is nothing further I can say to illuminate the difference between correlation, coincidence, and causation.

First, I did not give you a negative reputation point for disagreeing with me. I gave you negative reputation points because, with all due respect, I have found some of your posts in this thread lacking in substance and smelling of arrogance. Second, I should note that I have not given anyone negative reputation points for having a different opinion. Third, I believe you have given me reputation points because I disagreed with you (but maybe it's because you think my posts lack substance or stink of arrogance).

In any case, I'm done with this thread. You have your opinions and I have mine, we disagree, and neither of us is likely to persuade the other to change his opinion.

PS - I can't wait for training camp to start so we can discuss real football events instead of politics/news.
