If not, on a scale of 1-10, how important is the deep understanding of math you have posted about to beat say $50NL-$100NL?
That poll option was a joke. I don't think I even have any at this point.
It depends on which math you're talking about. I don't know what SSNL is like these days, but I think a basic understanding of game theory in terms of trying to play your range instead of individual hands is probably needed to be a big winner.

edit: OK ignore I just saw your post in the other thread
It's coming. I'm being lazy about doing some edits. I got ImSavy, a new guy, to check over it a couple of months ago, so thanks to him for that.

What this basically comes down to is whether people are okay giving up their rights for a feeling of more security. Some people are, some people aren't. Personally, I'm not. The United States was founded on the idea that it's not okay to do so, but slowly over time, people have wanted to change that. In the grand scheme of things, it's not really that big of a deal.
As far as guns go specifically, it's a very polarizing thing because you have people on the opposite ends of a spectrum without anyone in the middle. People who have grown up around guns and are more comfortable around them don't have the same alarmist feelings that people experience who aren't comfortable around guns. One side of the fence understands guns, how to be safe with them and what's needed to store, maintain and use them safely. The other side of the fence does not, so when some nutjob shoots up some kids, the only thing they see is that guns are bad. Both sides are trying to fight for what they think is right.
The truth of the situation is that 25 kids dying isn't that big of a deal from an objective point of view. If the number of dying kids is the measure of what needs to be done, then there are tons of things that should be taken care of before gun control. However, 25 American kids dying brings up a lot of emotions because we imagine it happening to our own kids. If 250,000 African kids die on the other side of the world, it doesn't mean nearly as much to most Americans because they can't relate to it.
Politicians have always used children as a tool to pass legislation that will give them more power (politically, not militarily) and make them more money in the long run. The only difference now is that they are using dead children to do it.
