<snicker> dumbass thinks ignoring the result of the correlation means he

Too bad for you nothing Frank has written meets the affirming the 
consequent fallacy.

Simply stated for the dumbasses benefit, he's attempting to counter 
logical statements by babbling bullshit.

Sorry, dumbass, You may be able to babble your bullshit successfully at 
home but it doesn't work here.

This is from a dumbass who was presented with two government reports 
detailing the specification, testing, acceptance, and subsequent 
acquisition of 80,000 AR-15s by the US military and concludes 'the AR-15 
is a weapon the US military never wanted and never used'.
