Reply #129: "Those are just random unrelated events in your mind?" [View All]

Ah, it's one of those "questions" again. They're so charming, I never tire of them.

Why would you assert that they were random unrelated events in my mind? You did. Bugger the hokey question mark.

The fact that I don't agree that A caused B does not mean that I regard A and B as random unrelated events.

X came along and kicked up a big great big stink about A, and persuaded a lot of people to act in a manner that resulted in B.

I mean, you do know that somebody doing something doesn't actually cause somebody else do to something, right? Free will?

A bunch of people CHOSE to do something, and if you want to pretend ("guess") they would have chosen to do that in the absence of the dishonest, right-wing agenda-driven, richly funded stink kicked up by the political wing of the NRA, you go right ahead.

I won't pretend that any politician would not be smart to be wary of the NRA and its dishonesty, right-wingery and deep pockets.
