Not if you or a loved one is the victim in that anecdote. My signature line now takes the single example to the final total overall statistics.
And a single quote about a tragic accidental shooting counters your signature, which is why anecdotal evidence is piss poor debate. Mindless appeals to emotion are just that, mindless.
Obama uses anecdotals all the time, including on these gun issues. You believe he should stop mentioning any specific school shooting or anyone who was there as piss-poor presentation?
Yes, when Obama does it, it does not make it good. Just because Johnny jumped off a bridge does not mean you should too. Logic, good thing to try.
