He's just pointing out that it's a political issue, not a common sense issue. In other words, most left-wing, progressive, ban all gun, authoritarian types have no common sense.
No they don't. They might have something like a savage accu-trigger, which is a single trigger, but when pulled requires that two separate trigger levers align before the gun can fire. The two separate trigger levers are coincidental, so it only takes one action by the finger to fire.
I did. The press release says it was a self-selected survey representative of the entire country. I also took English, and that sentence is an oxymoron because the likelihood of a self selected survey being representative of anything but the people that took the survey is extremely small.
According to the press release, respondents were not asked if they would purchase a smart gun at all. They were asked if they would be willing to CONSIDER purchasing a CHILDPROOF gun. Not the same thing.
To examine public interest in purchasing smart guns, also known as childproof or personalized guns(WHAT?), the study team conducted a nationally representative, web-based survey in January 2015, getting responses from 3,949 people. The respondents were nearly evenly split among gun owners and those who do not own guns. Among the findings: Fifty-nine percent of all respondents said they would be willing to consider a childproof gun if they were to purchase a new weapon. More than twice as many current gun owners said they would be willing to purchase a childproof gun than would be unwilling. The guns were most supported by political liberals (71 percent), but support was also high among political moderates (56 percent) and conservatives (56 percent).
So the respondents said they would be willing to consider a childproof gun if they were to purchase a new weapon. In the setup in the paragraph quoted above I am told a smart gun is also known as a childproof or personalized gun. I am a gun owner, I actually manufacture firearm components, and those descriptions are definitely not synonymous. I fact, I can't ever recall a smart gun being referred to as a childproof gun or a personalized gun. Were the survey respondents asked specifically whether they would be willing to purchase a smart gun, or were they given some unclear euphemism for smart gun? Why is the survey not linked in the press release? I smell bullshit.
Except that the underwear bomber wasn't caught by the TSA. He got on the plane just fine, the only reason he was caught was because his bomb didn't detonate, and just burned instead.
Lol, so now supporting a public official that agrees with one's own views, is denying others their rights. Did you get dropped on your head as a child? That is called democracy. If you want to see people being denied their right by others, step onto a left wing college campus, if you're not already on one.
On the third hand, many poorly sited thermometers contribute greatly to the overall average. And because each thermometer's local environment is different, there is no way to easily correct the data.
2) CO2 is not pollution. If you think it is, then stop breathing immediately. Removing it from the environment would cause all life on Earth to die. Gases that actually are pollution do not contribute to warming.
Much of Miami beach was built. In other words before we decided we needed a city there it was open water or mangrove swamps. The land was created by us.
No they don't. They show the expansion and contraction of mercury or alcohol in a sealed glass tube. Or they show the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between two different types of metal. Or they measure the varying resistance of different materials.
People with strong science supporting their argument don't need to link their opponents with holocaust deniers, as every climate change fnantic is known to do.

That's great. It should be noted that nowhere in the united states can a 5 year old purchase a firearm.
Not to mention, that childproof gun is in no way synonymous with smart gun. And to me, a personalized gun is a high dollar custom firearm.
No they don't. They might have something like a savage accu-trigger, which is a single trigger, but when pulled requires that two separate trigger levers align before the gun can fire. The two separate trigger levers are coincidental, so it only takes one action by the finger to fire.
Someone that wants to buy their 16 year old kid their first deer rifle.

No kidding. If I were to buy my 16 year old daughter a smart gun, and it happened to be child proof, she wouldn't even be able to use it.

If those people in the theater, even being unarmed, had decided as a group to take down the gunmen, they probably would have been successful.
Except that the underwear bomber wasn't caught by the TSA. He got on the plane just fine, the only reason he was caught was because his bomb didn't detonate, and just burned instead.
Or shoot themselves while pulling up their pants in a public restroom.
Did I miss the protests where gun rights folks have been demanding that they be allowed to take guns on planes?

And also, don't be giving the EPA any ideas. Water vapor is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
OK, then at what level does CO2 become poisonous?
On the third hand, many poorly sited thermometers contribute greatly to the overall average. And because each thermometer's local environment is different, there is no way to easily correct the data.
Then really if the changes are so gradual and slight that I won't even notice, I really have nothing to worry about.
1) Thanks for reinforcing my point.
2) CO2 is not pollution. If you think it is, then stop breathing immediately. Removing it from the environment would cause all life on Earth to die. Gases that actually are pollution do not contribute to warming.

What's the problem?
No they don't. They show the expansion and contraction of mercury or alcohol in a sealed glass tube. Or they show the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between two different types of metal. Or they measure the varying resistance of different materials.

I wish. If I were a millionaire I'd spend my time flying to climate change conferences in my Gulfstream.
We haven't seen one degree difference in average temperature since the 1960's
