Whilst I agree with you on a person changing their mind in the middle of the act, a single bad argument does not negate the validity of the other arguments. Sounds to me like you're just trying to find a reason not to consider an opposing point of view.

When the evidence in favour of a certain position is overwhelming, the burden of proof is on the one trying to disprove it. The simple fact is the evidence is overwhelming that societies without guns are safer, all the cherry-picked data in the world won't change that.

1. I never said there were other electric car manufacturers, just that none had functionality comparable to a gasoline car.
2. So, what are these details about how it's not a reliable result? Why not post them instead of your rambling misunderstanding of statistics?
3. 1 in 1350 is the average for gasoline cars; the comparison is type of car, not brand.

1. I never said Tesla only made 6,333 cars, no idea where you got that from.
2. Market share definitely does matter in the scenario you suggested, where most gasoline cars are better and it's just one or to bad brands throwing off the average, I've covered this several times, how do you not understand this?
3. "...market share got nothing to do with the results. like wise, if there are 13,500 cars, 10,000 made by ford, none catch fire, 3,500 made by unknown manufacturer 10 catch fire, then combined, it's 1 in 1350 caught fire." You have simultaneously contradicted yourself and proved my point.
4. The comparison is not between brands but between types of car, gasoline vs. electric, as Tesla is the only available electric car with functionality comparable to a gasoline car, the comparison is valid.

1. The figures are widely available, look them up.
2. I never blamed guns, but it should be obvious to anyone how guns make killing people easier and so result in a higher homicide rate.
2. Even using your sources, the US still has a homicide rate 5 times that of the UK.
4. Texas' decrease in gun deaths occurred after the introduction of carry laws, yes arming everyone in a society filled with guns will slightly increase safety, but on average unarmed societies still have far lower homicide rates.
5. You have provided one study which indicates that increased gun ownership increased whilst murder rate decreased, a quick google search indicates that pretty much every other study indicates the opposite; more guns means more gun deaths.
6. America only comes 34th in murder rate due to third world countries, compared to other developed nations the US is one of, if not the, highest in murder rates.
7. Cherry picking much?

Market share definitely does matter in the scenario you suggest. If one brand makes ten times as many cars then the rate at which those cars catch fire will have ten times the effect on the combined average, because there are ten times as many of them out there. This is why, for a smaller brand to have the effect on the combined average you are suggesting, the rate at which their cars catch fire would have to be absurd, or at least impossible to cover up.

1. If you can't see how the market share affect the combined average then your knowledge of statistics is even worse than I thought.
2. 400 in 10,000 = 4 in 100 = 2 in 50. Your math is off, not mine.

You're still failing to take into account the market share of the brands; there's a reason the "big three" you referred to earlier are called "the big three". 1 in 10,000 for one brand and 9 in 10,000 for another does not work out to 1 in 2,000 when the latter makes up only 5% of the cars, to get the effect you're talking about it'd have to be 18 in 1,000, or approximately 1 in 50. If a brand was catching fire at that rate, it would be in the news and they'd go out of business.

You haven't given an example of basic mathematics; your arguments boils down to "what if gasoline cars are better an it's just a few brands throwing off the average", but when you take into account the market share of various brands, for a small number of smaller brands to throw off the average that much would require their cars to catch fire at an absurd rate which could not be kept out of the news. The only thing you've demonstrated is your own failure to understand how statistics work.

But you're not looking at the market share, the rate really would have to be absurd if one or two brands are bringing down the average of all gasoline cars that much. If one or two or even three brands of car were catching fire that often it would make the news no matter how much money was thrown into PR.
Why do you have such a hard time believing that a form of car powered igniting a flammable liquid will catch fire more often?

And I then pointed out than, in order to achieve an average of 1 in 1350 across all gasoline cars based on only a few brands, those brands would have to catch fire at an absurd rate.

No, because the rate given is an average of all gasoline cars, in order for one or two brands to be throwing off the average as badly as you imply, pretty much every car that brand makes would have to burst into flames.

What? It doesn't matter how many manufacturers there are, 1 in 6333 will ALWAYS be less than 1 in 1350.
