[gun control] and logic

Wow! By: Joe Huffman Tuesday, April 14, 2009 5:45:44 AM (Pacific Standard Time, UTC-08:00) ( Crap for brains | Gun Rights )

From James Kelly on the gun control debate (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here):

The difference in this debate is that I have been arguing on the basis of what I believe to be true, and doing my best to explain why I believe it. Kevin, by way of contrast, claims to be able to literally ‘prove’ his case beyond any doubt whatsoever by recourse to detailed statistical data.

Mind boggles. Is that the same as, 'I know nothing about art but I know what I like?'

Hat tip Lord T.

  2. In Scotland several decades of Socialism. So that isn't really his fault then. It's a cultural thing.

  3. I've been following the discussion since it first popped up at Rachel's blog. Personally, I have a hard time understanding his mindset, but that's his problem.
