    Well I’d expect you to mention a mission which went wrong rather than the majority which are successful.:)

    Airliner lands successfully with no problems or all on board killed as airliner crashes – which is the headline in every newspaper, website, news report, etc?

    Just as all those other bombing missions have specifically targeted suspicious groups of armed insurgents which turned out to be an Afghan wedding party?

    Nope, go read his link number 3, even those who hate guns could find no real connection.

    So what became of all those apparent rulings of yours that claimed massacres were carried out by the mentally ill?

    Or..are you saying that gun owners are all mentally stable and therefore have a perfect right to carry out these ‘justifiable’ massacres?

    Statistics supplied by or paid for by organisations who have a vested interest in the results they display are of value only if printed out then given to paper recycling companys.

    With the wealth generated by gun ownership for the NRA they can hardly claim to be unbiased, wouldn’t you agree? All that money they pay out to make sure that voting goes their way in order to preserve their lifestyle, well, they wouldn’t just lose their firearms if they didn’t fight, would they…;o)

    How does the NRA deal with the ‘myth’ that people with access to guns are much more likely to commit massacres than those without access?

    If it is ‘only’ the mentally ill who commit mass murders using guns, isn’t there a good possibility that the desire or need for a gun is a sign of mental instability?

    My point was simply, calling someone because they believe in a religion that you don’t, a “nutter” isn’t going to help anything.
    I’d think that last week would have illustrated that.

    Oh, I’m sure Edmund doesn’t care seeing as how he has been dead for, well, these past 1146 years now…

    …Unless he is up there with his invisible friend and 72 virgins, of course?

    Glad to see religious tolerance is alive and well in the U.K. 🙂

    I am not so much intolerant, more bemused at the kind of belief in a being that is evident only in the minds of believers, a book or two of medieval science fiction, especially when they are frequently so demanding that you believe and intolerant of those who cannot or will not share their beliefs.
    I am sure you would understand it if I were to query if Edmund was, for example, only doing it because he’d been promised 72 virgins on arrival in paradise, rather than the reality of a hole in the ground, becoming wormfood, and an eternity of nothing…
