You ignore cities that have lower or higher rates within the same state with the same laws. That is card stacking.
Oh for chryce sake you make argumentum rectumium. I was comparing two large cities with populations over 500,000 with similar demographics, gun control Chicago and pro gun Houston, in order to show that Houston with it's larger total crime rate was being ignored by gun nuts while they gleefully enjoyed attacking gun control Chicago, complaining about the smell in Chicago while ignoring the STINK in their own backyard. In a equable comparison you don't compare smaller cities with Chicago.
To show how stupid your argument is, Gary in pro gun Indiana has or has had over twice the murder rate as Chicago. Doesn't that make pro gun policy asinine by your above argument? Now THAT would be card stacking.
You have such little proper debate skills; you substitute disassembling OF the truth, for a valid rendering of what IS true.
Take your cheap shots, your ignorance of valid argumentation, and bias against what your own democrat party supports overwhelmingly, and go away.
Johnston: Also, conventional wisdom is almost always wrong. Conventional wisdom according to whom
Again with the stupidium. Conventional wisdom is NOT 'almost always wrong', it is usually spot on. You again make the absurd argument that since something is not 90% or better it is a faulty system, or since it is occasionally wrong it can't be trusted. That might apply to lie detector polygraphs going to court, but the lie detector is still 90% accurate.
