(That is to say, when a person who we positively know fired a gun is then subjected to such an NAA test, the results will be positive, rather than negative, which is what you'd normally expect the result to be.)

My crystal ball is still functioning perfectly... you did indeed run from the two questions that would prove that you lied.
Which, of course, proves that you lied - because there's no reason *NOT* to answer them if you were honest.

Notice that you refused to answer.
The two answers would PROVE BEYOND ALL DOUBT that you're a liar... which is why you refused to answer.
Of course, in your refusal to answer, you've also proven that you lied. Because there's no reason for an honest man not to answer...

Yep... Gutless liar... and as I've pointed out before, a pervert as well.

You're lying again, David.
The proof of that is demonstrated by your refusal to answer the questions.
I suspect that if I were standing behind you with a baseball bat, you'd suddenly figure out just what is wrong with your statement.
But absent an immediate physical punishment for your lie, you're going to pretend that you were telling the truth.
Yet you've PROVEN THAT YOU WEREN'T by your refusal to answer the two questions that pinpoint your lie.
> Just exactly what do you think is the LIE in my quote above about the "7 out of 8 tests"? You dispute that Guinn got 7 out of 8 NEGATIVE results when testing for NITRATES?
Oh, you're not *THAT* stupid... you know precisely what's wrong with your quote... that's why you refuse to answer the two questions that reveal your lie.

What? Did I use a word you can't figure out? Did I tell the truth so convincingly that you had no way to refute it?
Or was it just your ordinary garden-variety cowardice that acted up again?

I daresay you don't have any mirrors in your house.
