No you don't destroy my line of reasoning, since you altered my original premise and created a rebuttal to your own faulty reconstruction.

In the above sentence, you accuse me of altering your original premise.

I was referring to the 80 million gun owners in general who, according to your false premise: do not kill or shoot someone 99.9% of the time.

In the very next sentence, you changed MY premise, since when I say 99.9 percent as in my sig, I'm measuring people, not time.

So actually its YOUR false premise, not mine. If that's what you call 'witting', I'm going to classify it as the rhetorical version of you trying to use your face to hurt my fists. Oh please, you're hurting me, stop.

Even if 30,000 gun owners per year for 75 years were to shoot someone, this would amount to over 2 million gun owners out of 80 million, or about 3%, much higher than your 0.1%..

First, you don't just get to factor out new gun ownership, or even assume that its not 10 times higher in number than the number of gun deaths annually. It is. And then some.

Second, you don't just get to count 75 years worth of those who did against 1 year of those who didn't.

Heres your math, genius: 79,970,000 x 75 = 5,997,750,000

Congratulations. You've done the impossible. I expected less than nothing from you in terms of a response, and the bullshit you're piously trying to peddle qualifies as less than less-than-nothing.

Like I said, You talk a big game to the experienced swimmers, from the shallow end of the pool.
