At Yale, we conducted an experiment to turn conservatives into liberals

    No, you haven’t. I just don’t see you hating seeing Conservatives cry. I bet, it was the highlight of your year, seeing Boehner cry.

    Why highlight of the year? ‘Cos it doesn’t not happen too often with Conservatives... Liberals, they do it all the time :no:

    First of all, you don't want to wade into a discussion about IQ scores because of the racial implication. Second, define education. If you mean a college degree, then a college degree in what, gender studies? And what about all those union workers and low IQ people I previously mentioned who don't have degrees, are you insulting them, too, those are your people. Third, cowards? We're not the ones banning particular guns because they look menacing and we're not the ones who wear masks in order to not be identified when looting, burning and hitting people with bike locks, and we're not the ones who need safe spaces or freak out when we see Trump chalkings.

    And you're obviously very deeply frightened about guns otherwise you wouldn't be trying to ban them.

    Well that's an interesting story but I cant really debate hearsay now can I?

    But it sounds like what you're referring to was Obama action of replacing the definitions of "mental illness" that the NICS uses with the definitions that the SSA uses as well as drawing from the SSA's list effectively and unconstitutionally barring millions of people from purchasing firearms.

    That was a very real thing that Trump, thankfully, put a stop to.

    The NRA advocates for our rights, our rights are not propaganda.

    Can't turn conservatives into democrats because they aren't that corrupt, naive, and stupid.

    Well one of the reasons is that we understand statistics and do not think that per capita numbers are a conspiracy

    Really?

    Among my more memorable posts from conservatives is the one where the member believed that do2 measurements were inaccurate because CO2 is heavier than air and the testing station is on muana loa

    And that's why liberals don't fear government controlling them from cradle to grave.

    Liberals don't want to be free. They want to live in a controlled society where everything is taken care of for them.

    Thanks for demonstrating the point.

    "Many leftist walk around boasting about how "intelligent" they are despite not being so, how "informed" they are despite not being so, and how "educated" they are despite not being so."

    Obviously you too missed the point of that entire exchange.

    Per capita is not a "conspiracy", its just a lie when used to support a claim of "which has more" since the very application of "per capita" alters the original raw data.

    Several pseudo-intellectuals missed that point (in addition to missing the original error of application) even though it was presented to them multiple times in plain and basic English.

    Again, thanks for a great demonstration.

    I have a daughter in college who waits tables. I plan to ask her about your claim.

    From the kitchen to the table, how do waiters manage to pull off such a stunt?

    Visit the Yale university web page. See if it mentions such a study. I was not able to trace this to Yale no matter what I googled. It as like a circle jerk. Back to the same flawed source.

    I am a Democrat, and a former NRA member, so your statement is pure ignorance.

    The NRA has become a mouthpiece for the gun lobbying industry and the gun manufacturing industry. To deny this is to deny reality. If they were to return to their original intent, marksmanship and gun safety, I would gladly join again. They won't, so I shan't. It has nothing to do with fear.

    I'd never heard a claim that receiving SS made one ineligible.

    Was anyone ever saying that or did Snoops just construct a strawman?

    It feels like they just made that part up to soften the blow.

    Either way the heart of the matter was that SSA's criteria for "mental illness or disability" is so massively broad that it should have never, ever, been used in conjunction with the NICS.

    Keyword there is criteria.

    The merging of those entities was step one for Obama and the DNC.

    The next step was to expand the listing itself beyond what the SSA has, which is just disability payouts, by drawing upon all those permanent databases that Obamacare created (MIDAS).

    They had big plans.
