Gun Violence Archive; Killers (of Any Critiques on Their Methodology)

Gun Violence Archive recently absorbed the propaganda website Mass Shooting Tracker at the start of 2016. I began to look through some of their data to see how they compared to Mass Shooting Tracker. At first glance, it appeared they fixed a few of the notorious discrepancies that I have previously highlighted in the definition … Read more Gun Violence Archive; Killers (of Any Critiques on Their Methodology)

My Proposition for Reconstructing the Gun Laws

Here is my proposition on gun control: We do it like a game show. We begin with everyone having a say. If you interchange non-synonymous terms in an argument, you get eliminated. Make up statistical data, you get eliminated. Misrepresent statistical data, you get eliminated. Use any of numerous Logical fallacies, you get eliminated. Argue … Read more My Proposition for Reconstructing the Gun Laws

Mass Shooting Tracker

I kept seeing statistics about “mass shootings” being reported on News sites and web feeds, and wondered where they were getting their information because it didn’t seem to represent reality and certainly didn’t match any of the statistics I was finding from credible sources. I decided to check out the source of the statistics, and … Read more Mass Shooting Tracker

If ‘Redskins’ are scalps, then Native Americans weren’t doing all the scalping, right?

I find eagles aesthetically pleasing. I find vaginas aesthetically pleasing. I don’t, however, think the second is a better symbol for our country than the first. Yet here we appear to be…a nation of pussies more represented by a symbol of a great big vagina than we currently are by a big free soaring eagle. … Read more If ‘Redskins’ are scalps, then Native Americans weren’t doing all the scalping, right?

Jim Brady v. Gabrielle Giffords

This one is just short and to the point, and you can chalk it up to satire if you wish: For those who haven’t quite figured it out, the difference between the Jim and Sarah Brady ideology [Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence & Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence ] and the Mark Kelly / Gabrielle … Read more Jim Brady v.

Herein Lies One of the Problems in the Gun Control Debate

Look, I’m extremely pro Second Amendment…Extremely… pro Second Amendment. I am, however, pro Second Amendment based upon logical fact and critical thinking and not because I just “want” to be able to own firearms under any circumstances. The problem is, many people don’t care about facts, and in arguing the pro Second Amendment case will … Read more Herein Lies One of the Problems in the Gun Control Debate

The United States of (insert foreign country here)-Americans

I don’t even know what country I live in anymore. Is it Italy, because we appear to cater to the Roman Catholic Church in spite of the Constitution’s prohibition on enacting laws respecting a specific establishment of religion? Is it Mexico, because we seem to cater to Mexicans over Americans in spite of existing U.S. … Read more The United States of (insert foreign country here)-Americans

An Estrich With Its Head Buried In The Sand?

I can’t help but take note with this article “Guns, God and Background Checks” by Susan Estrich. It seems like someone who just wants to talk about gun control because it is a hot topic, and not because they have anything tangible or knowledgeable to add to the debate. It gets tiring having to repeat … Read more An Estrich With Its Head Buried In The Sand?
