    Default Skewed statistics? Never!

    You mean to tell me the the Everytown group used skewed statistics for their argument? Oh my gawd they would never do that!

    Yep, and they say we're one of the worst... that's only because the Pakistani government doesn't track stats in the FATA region, they make Chicago and Detroit look like paradise!

    But if they didn't have such easy access to guns, maybe they wouldn't have been so quick to end their lives by way of convenience.

    That statistic can be torn apart a lot further than that. I'll have to find the sound bite but one of the podcasts I listen to has the daily average torn down and the stuff we should care about is miniscule compared to the reported statistics.

    The numbers also include "children", aka gang-bangers through age 25.

    I was tearing apart this list on Facebook the other night ...


    out of 6 randomly selected "shootings" on the list only ONE was what anyone would call a "school shooting".

    including the very first one on the list!

    Of course Never, OOPS

    CNN determined that 15 of the incidents Everytown included were situations similar to the violence in Newtown or Oregon -- a minor or adult actively shooting inside or near a school. That works out to about one such shooting every five weeks, a startling figure in its own right.

    Some of the other incidents on Everytown's list included personal arguments, accidents and alleged gang activities and drug deals.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
