I'm not sure what "a sound acceptance of his null hypothesis" means. Please clarify. While I think the name calling that this thread has generated has been unfortunate, to say the least, I, for one, admire Bob and LS for the passion they contributed to this subject. If you all want to live in a stinking stew of gun violence, I guess you will get your wish. For those of you who might not know, Lucifer Sam, one of the most intelligent and humorous characters on this website, has been permanently banned because of his courageous defense of a sane approach to gun violence. I don't know if Bob has met the same fate, but they are both great spirits that have contributed immensely to the wit and intelligence on this website. I guess the gun nuts win.
