You're funny, Phil. First you state:
"The article I posted ...specifically stated "Public-health researchers
have
concluded that in homes where guns are present, the likelihood that
someone in the home will die from suicide or homicide is much
greater."
Then you twirl around and state:
The article NEVER claimed causality, nothing remotely like that.
No twirl whatsoever. The likelihood of something happening is not a
causative claim at all, and anyone thinking that is severely deluded.
***answer
Actually the assertion of probability is an assertion of causality.
If I say you are X more likely to die because you own a gun, then that is an
assertion that owning the gun will increases your chance of dying.
So, once again we see you attempt misdirection and misinformation in order
to imply causality where none has been shown to exist.
