So you don't care to respond to the actual posts and observations, Sir John? Discretion is the better part of valor...

The text:By the way, Fred, I have mentioned that I have never owned a gun, never shot one outside of a carnival ( with the exception of a bb gun, I guess), have never hunted, have not even fished since around puberty, do not belong to the NRA, and have no especial knowledge to contribute to the ongoing debates about lethality, availability, and such. I have made a few mild observations, such as about the text of the 2nd Amendment, or the opinion of Hobbes, and offered a couple of facts that I had picked up, such as that crime had gone down in right- to- carry states, but I have mainly demurred. But thanks for your permission to engage in free speech in a public forum.....

<Suicidal adolescents are 75 times more likely to commit suicide when a gun is kept in their home.>

The above statement doesn't make any particular claim whether the suicides were committed with the gun kept in the home. That 75 is puffery. You might try using more concrete assertions than the one made above. Just what constitutes the definition of "suicidal" in this case. Why were other suicides excluded from the sample? Were they not suicidal?
