You're hiding behind technicalities you dont understand. Someone probably
had to teach you how to spell "correlation". I was calculating R^2 values
when you were probably still snot-nosed. I mean, a snot-nosed kid.

Time after time after time, guns are correlated with violent death. While
the Kellermens, Klecks, and Lotts of this world debate the intricacies,
people are still at risk, or worse. If I am unable to find a study that
proves walking into a biker bar wearing a pink tu-tu and ordering a glass of
milk will get you gang-raped, will you promise to do it?

Where there's smoke there's fire. I know its not scientific, but stop acting
like Philadelphia lawyers, the lot of you.
