As I suspected, the statistic is completely contrived.

May I share your analysis elsewhere?

One big problem is that people believe anything the news puts out there.

That's because there used to be a thing called "journalistic integrity". The press used to be about keeping the public informed about what was going on in the world around them. Now it is about selling advertisements. The best way to sell advertisements is to sensationalize EVERYTHING!

It's all about "the narrative" and keeping a steady drumbeat for the movement (restrictions) that they want.

The news media is probably the least respect and most suspected institution in the country.

If they fired every idiot reporter that got the facts wrong we'd have no news at all within a month. They don't give a damn anymore. Just shovel the crap out there and often for whatever agenda that mgmt ownership has. No regards for the truth anymore anywhere.

To paraphrase a man I trust explicitly:
They belong to their father, the devil, and they want to carry out their father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.- John 8:44

Thanks! Good info!

I believe gun safety should be taught in schools, and that list provides excellent examples that kids do need to learn gun safety in schools.

When 3rd graders are pulling the trigger of a police officer's holstered weapon in school, you know it's time for Eagle Eddie in schools
