Most gun owners simply do not care about the inner city kids who are being killed, but small minorities should not always be allowed to highjack our politics.

Of course, he meant gun owners were a small minority. But isn’t creating legislation to protect inner city kids from themselves a case of small minorities hijacking our politics?

Inner city kids are small, and they are minorities. Hardy har har! Holy shit I am hilarious.

I don’t know anything about the guy, he’s probably written some super dumb shit in the past that you’re aware of and I’m not, but it seems to me that if he’s a gun control advocate, he’s one of the more rational ones.

“The first few days were slow going, but following a brief write-up of my site by Junk Science I was swamped by climate skeptics who did a good job of frightening off the few brave Greens who slogged out the debate with. Whilst there was a lot of rubbish written, the truth was that they didn’t so much frighten the Greens away – they comprehensively demolished them with a more in depth understanding of the science, cleverly thought out arguments, and some very smart answers. If you want to learn about the physics of convection currents, gas chromatography, or any number of climate science topics then read some of the early debates on TalkClimateChange. I didn’t believe a word of it, but I had to admit that these guys were good.

In the following months the situation hardly changed. As the forum continued to grow, as the blog began to catch traffic, and as I continued to try and recruit green members I continued to be disappointed with the debate. In short, and I am sorry to say it, anti-greens (Reds, as we call them) appear to be more willing to comment, more structured, more able to quote peer reviewed research, more apparently rational and apparently wider read and better informed.”
