>>>BTW, couldn't help noticing the complete and total omission in your post of any reference to the entire point of the article I linked, which was the failure of gun control to make a nation safer. Which I guess goes a long way towards proving the point I made in the rest of my post.

According to your post, your theme was to prove that the "left": a) always fails, b) post-failure, never accurately describes the faliure as a failure, and c) is very very stupid. There was no "rest of the post" except for the link. If you really wanted to talk about gun-control, you should have done a little of it (talking) in your post. If you are looking for "leftist" membership, you need to demonstrate all three of the requirements, not just requirement #c. :>)
