Look, there's a lot of controversy about this, some people say that guns kill people but its just a theory, ok? Scientists are in debate as to whether it even happens or not! All we can say is that people die. Yes guns go off, and then people die, but is this connected or is it coincidence? The truth is that no one really knows for sure. People have always been dying, so how can we be sure that any new deaths are really because of guns? Maybe they would have died anyway! For all we know, it's the Sun's fault! Someone could fire a gun at the same time that a cosmic beam of energy from the sun kills someone. Does that mean that we should blame the gun? No, let's not jump to conclusions here! The proponents of this theory really need to prove their claims before we go saying harsh things about guns. Some scientists say that poor nations are the ones most at risk of being hurt by guns. But what has science ever done for us anyway? I say we just lock up all those animal-experimenting Darwin-pushers! Then we'll see how useful their crazy "theories" are. Anyway, it's not even economically viable. The cost of trying to stop guns would break the economy, stupid! We're much better off keeping on the same path, seeing we don't even know if this babble is true.

Ho ho! Satire!

Guns defend people against people with smaller guns

Technically isn't it bullets that kill people, unless its this gun

Sorry, just wanted to see what it was like...

After seeing people buy into bullshit PR, I wanted to see what it's like to irrationally apply "correlation does not imply causation" like "sceptics" do.
Turns out to be a little fun, but for some reason people keep shouting ho at me.

Australia just got it's first major politician who doesn't believe in global warming :/
He's not even just one of the ones that doesn't believe in the link between human actions and changing climate, but he actually denies that climate change is occurring whatsoever.

I leave the state for just a few years, and look what happens? [rolleyes]

You leave the state, and a dumb politician comes up. If that's not causality, what then?

You are hereby forbidden to leave the country again, ever. I'm sorry, it's for a greater good.
