[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3369216, member: 5800"] You mean a scientific organization might be inclined to change based on new facts and evidence? I know that can be a foreign concept, but typically that's the way good science, business and thinking is done. The virus is 5 months old, and although it is similar to previous corona strains, they all work different, so researchers are going through a mountain of data in a short time. So yes, the CDC will change what is published as "fact" as well they should if new evidence supports the change. As far as the gun quote, please link a source. I see several articles citing versions of the quote but nothing concrete, and most indicating that was the 90's. Even then, what's the worst that happens? If they came out with a biased study in the age of the internet, Fox News and the NRA they'd get torn apart. If the study was rigorously done and it found the opposite conclusion, then the 2A takes a leap forward. As far as why I'm here ---- I've been here since 2009. I used to participate a lot back when the board hadn't run off everyone that didn't share the herd opinion, but once that happened I went back to a lurker. Met a lot of good folks through buying and selling, and generally not had a bad experience. But there are plenty of folks that are set in their ways, don't want to listen to other opinions, facts, evidence, or even a suggestion that might dispute their worldview. That's fine too --- right now I'm at the point of working from home that I'm bored, so contrary to your assessment that I'm upset in any way, I've actually been having a little fun by poking the bear(s) in putting my opinion out there.
