"Goldy's point is that, ..."

Goldy's point has been stated by Goldy over and over and over.
His point is to make a sarcastic statement about a death or injury where a gun was involved by saying "because guns make us safer".

"Sufficiently rare, in fact, to render the decision to own a gun for the purpose of self-defence irrational in most cases."

Because you have failed to do any research does not mean that there are not multiple examples available where someone has used a gun for self-defense.
But since I did not limit my statement to "self-defense" your incorrect reading and lack of research is your problem.

Here's an example that will upset racists such as yourself.

I like your analogy.
The claws do not make the cat safer.
But they do give the cat options that a declawed cat does not have.

"... my focus is primarily on educating the public that GUNS DON'T MAKE YOU SAFER."

And yet you continue to ignore any comments from anyone who has owned a gun who tells you that guns are dangerous.
Because this is about you trolling for page hits. Nothing else.

As I have repeatedly pointed out to you, guns are not magical.
A gun will not make you "safer".
A gun will not "protect" you.
Guns are dangerous.
But if a situation arises where you need a gun, you probably won't have time to go buy one.

"Don't Watch this Video of Well Regulated Militia Being Shot to Death by the Police"

And I have explained it to you before but it seems that you refuse to use the correct terminology, this as not a "Well Regulated Militia".
There is some reason that you keep using the terms incorrectly.
That reason is that you are trolling for page hits.

"Because when Second Amendment advocates talk about their right to arm themselves against an oppressive government, this is exactly the sort of scenario their paranoid fantasy imagines."

Maybe your "paranoid fantasy imagines" that.
But, again, the examples that have been provided to you on multiple occasions are Afghanistan and Iraq.

That incident appears to be "suicide by cop".
No, as you claimed, "take up arms against your government."
Again, Afghanistan and Iraq are the examples.

"As usual, you're talking out of your ass."

Well, let's see.

"Gun availability is not uniform across racial segments. Whites are much more likely to own a gun than other races."

You are conflating "availability" with "ownership".
You have not shown that guns in America are not as available to Asians as they are to Caucasians.

"And it's the NY Times that cherry-picked, ..."

I was quoting that from the CDC's website.
Not from the NY Times.

"If by 'pisses his panties' you mean citing statistics, yeah sure, you got me."

No.
You are "cherry picking" the statistics that you want to cite.
Even the CDC story that you linked to gives a different interpretation of those statistics.

Possible contributing factors for the rise in suicide rates among middle-aged adults include the recent economic downturn (historically, suicide rates tend to correlate with business cycles, with higher rates observed during times of economic hardship) (6,7); a cohort effect, based on evidence that the "baby boomer" generation had unusually high suicide rates during their adolescent years (8); and a rise in intentional overdoses associated with the increase in availability of prescription opioids (1,2).

Particularly because the increase was NOT uniform across racial segments despite the availability of guns being uniform across racial segments.

"LOL. No, dummy, I don't double check your mistakes and your goalpost shifts."

As I had posted multiple times previously, it is rather difficult for me to be "shifting the goalposts" in my first post in this thread.
And I provided a link so that you could see how you were using "shifting the goalposts" incorrectly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_the_…

But having the facts pointed out to you will not change your claims.
Because, as I illustrated in my initial post, the facts are not the issue here.
When the facts do not support your claims, you ignore the facts.

"Like I said, you don't merit double checking."

You don't bother to double check the "facts" you keep claiming?
Even when someone points out that such "facts" cannot be correct?
Such as it not being possible for me to be "shifting the goalposts" in my first post in this thread.

So you, as the "face" of the gun-control segment on SLOG, do not care about real facts.
You will repeat your claims even when they have been shown to be wrong.

Which is what I was pointing out with my initial post in this thread.
It doesn't matter how many times those items are addressed because the gun-control group will keep repeating their claims even when those claims are shown to be incorrect.
Such as you are continuing to do here with your "shifting the goalposts" claims.
