Gun Control & RKBA

I cannot control D.U. post numbers if they change. It was post #9 previously.

I disputed my own post #1 finding (asserted that 600,000 students would walk out) in post #11, where I clearly say I was wrong. I give references to sources that, in fact, it was closer to a million. What do you want from me? I made an estimate. The estimate as proved inaccurate. I corrected myself by posting a more accurate number of one million, which I didn't come up with, the sources did.

By all accounts, if I remember correctly, from what I'd seen from coverage there were churches, parents, teachers, administrators, mayors, other civil servants, and average workers across the country (myself and other co-workers included) that had planned to walkout or otherwise support the student walkout in the lead-up to the March 14th event. So clearly students weren't the only ones walking out on the 14th AND the number of participants to the walkout would be greater than 1 million. So unless you have something that states otherwise, I think, yeah, there were probably several million people across the nation and the world that walked out -- post #1.

Let me put it to you this way. I don't think there's a line drawn in the sand that when it comes to quantifying the exact number of worldwide participants on anything, an accurate count will be determined, do you? I certainly wouldn't be challenging such assertions without evidence to the contrary. If I did, then it would be logical to conclude that I was simply trying to pick a fight and had no evidence of my own to refute the original assertion. Therefore, I think it's safe to say the estimates match what we saw in media coverage of the March 14th walkout.

Furthermore, your straw man conclusion (setting up and shooting down something I didn't say) incorrectly represents my post #13 proposition: "If you are so certain that I am wrong, what is your source listing a quantifiable count to refute my original estimate?" That clearly states I am looking for evidence from Marengo or someone knowledgeable like yourself, who can show numbers from sources that refute my estimates: media sources, news, etc.

So my rebutting conclusion will be this. I invite you to join Marengo and provide sources listing a quantifiable count to refute my original estimate. Absent of that, I'll stick with my assertions.
