 '''Liberal logic''' is an argument that has logical appeal to a [[liberal]], but is nonsensical.  Let's build a list:
-* Inability to understand [[causality]], identify the causes and with rational and logical stastistics deduce the effects they produce. For example, rape skyrocketing in the UK after the mid 1990s is rationally and logically a result of [[gun control]] introduced by the British Government and not a result of the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act as [[liberal]]s irrationally and illogically claim.
 * that increasing taxes must increase government revenue
 * increasing spending by government must reduce poverty
 * prohibiting guns must reduce crime
 * teaching abstinence must not reduce premarital sex
+* widespread ownership of the largely defensive weapon of gun must not reduce crime
