Guns are so cool?

And again you prove my point. Offer nothing but want others to answer questions.

If you would like to ask Soc or Damo about my marital status they can answer. They have both seen pics of my wife & kids. Thats as close as you are going to get.

In order to send verifiable evidence of marital status I would have to giveyou my real name and address. That ain't happening.

So you're demanding a level of proof of Topspin's claim that you can't or won't meet for yours?

Interesting.

Topper made a claim about gun owners in general. There are over 63 million of them in the US.

I made a claim about gun buffs on this board. There are maybe a dozen.

Toppers claim is either backed by research or its not. My claim is backed by a couple of years of chatting with these people.



I also offer my own proof via two respected members of this board.

You won't even offer your own beliefs, but rely on questions and questionable links.

Your evasion is apparent.

It's uncanny how much your rhetoric resembles "Damn Yankee" when you make a baseless claim.

What's "questionable" about the link I posted?

Is this "questionable" too?

What is questionable is the connection between the links and the topic.

I am not being evasive. I named two respected members of this internet community who have seen pics of my family and have had access to online conversations between myself and my wife.

What sort of evidence would you like?

I don't want any.

You have amply demonstrated that you and Topspin have both made claims that cannot be substantiated.

How is your argument better than his?

BTW, "two respected members of this internet community" also stated that I'm not a "troll", but that doesn't deter you from calling me one, does it?

I call you a troll based on your actions here. And those respected members may have stated that you are not the Legion Troll, but I did not see where they posted that you are not a troll. You post inflammatory posts, comments and links, and do not participate in two-way discussions. That pretty much fits the definition of "troll".

My claims can most certainly be verified. As I stated, two respected members have seen ample evidence. One of those members is the owner of the site.

I believe you.

What I don't believe is that you can credibly demand that "Topspin" prove his statement and then refuse to prove your refutation.

Topper made an statement as if it were fact that gun nuts are womanless. The credibility was apparent already.

And you attempted to refute his claim by stating ""Most of those on this board who are "gun nuts" are married".

Neither claim has been validated.

So, is one claim better than the other?

Since most of the gun buffs on this site have claimed to be married, and have given no reason not to be believed, yes that claim is more valid.

I based my comment on the relationships I have developed over years of conversation with the gun buffs on this website. One of the most vocal of whom I also talk to on FaceBook.

Is there a chance that all of them have been lying the entire time? Yes, there is a minute chance of that.

But since Topper pulled his comment out of thin air, I would say mine is still the more valid.

You're entitled to your own opinions, of course.

One statement has anecdotal evidence, and the other has no evidence whatsoever.

Seems to me that mine is more valid. I am not saying it is 100% irrefutable. Just that it is more valid than an off the cuff snide remark.
