Well give credit where credit is due!
An unexpected rational voice.

Plenty of F bombs in that piece.

Even he gets it.

Now he will get it!........!!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Poor babies. Cannot accept facts.

Dr Tyson is 100% correct in this case. However, he now incurs the wrath of the progressives. Which is even worse than the wrath of Kahn.

I have often thought about data like this. It used to be taught in schools for example Drivers Ed. I don’t see a mad rush to go ban cars.

This was a glaring light on this entire situation.
“The very fact that the American public and the media freak out at these shootings provides a disgusting incentive for the unhinged terrorists to keep them up. If a marginalized angry individual knows he can drum up attention by committing an evil act, he is more likely to do it.”

The salacious and voracious media is as much to blame as any of the people that pull the trigger.

The social fabric of this country is shredded and just when I didn’t think it could get any worse more of this stuff hits..

Vending machines have killed at least 37 people. You should really calm down.

Sort of puts it in perspective.

BAN GUN CONTROL

Mass shooting violence occurs in Democrat Gun Control zones.

Nullify all gun control.

Imprison elite donors pushing gun control.

Never like d the guy, but he’s right here.

This is really not the time to be the smug counterfactual guy. Medical errors don’t evolve into ethnic cleansing. The flu didn’t lynch black people to keep them from voting. You’re ridiculously blithe to the implications of ideology-driven violence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only ideology driven violence that I have seen is Islamic.

But we can’t talk about that......

Gosh, I thought we should all hate him and claim he's a "fake scientist" like Bill Nye simply because he's on the wrong side on the global warming debate. Apparently he "makes a living promoting the global warming scam" simply because some FReepers say so, and not because of the overall content of his programs or books. (For example, when I go thru a list of books he's written and promoting to the public on his website, not a single one focuses on that issue...)

Oh, and if Ayn Rand is wrong on a bunch of stuff, in that case its OK because we can "filter the bad stuff out". But NOT for Nye! Scumbag!

Democrats don’t do science or math, at least mot truthfully. They ignored the chicago shootings this weekend.

[webheart]

I really doubt he said anything of the sort.

[Gay State Conservative]

Interesting. I assume that he understands that these comments will mean that his social calendar on The Vineyard will be wide open for the rest of the summer.

He'll be about as welcome as a skunk at a picnic among the nation's Beautiful People.

I think it's kind of interesting that all the anti-gun twits twittering around the Interweb seem to be neglecting one of deGrassi's facts:

40 to Homicide via Handgun

That's a TYPICAL 48 hour period. Probably 20-25 just in Chicago. Oh, well, don't confuse a pansy-a$$ lie-beral with facts. Especially the ones that don't fit their "Orange Man Bad" agenda.

[Levy78]

virtually all leftist positions collapse in the face of data. it’s an emotionally driven ideology for its ‘shock troops’ and it (marxism) a construct designed to control people for its architects.

[HighSierra5]

Smash Mouth eh? I wonder how they got that name? Did somebody smash their mouths? I wonder if they’d like to change their name to smash face? Or punched in the nose. Or Brokejaw. Or.....
