The Ministry of Propaganda only cares about the narrative supporting the agenda.
The truth is irrelevant.

I'm not sure, and I'm too lazy at the moment to look it up, but the U.S. might have the highest firearm suicide rate among 'developed' nations, but AFAIK Japan leads in overall suicide rate.

MSNBC's Velshi Wrongly Implies Guns Make U.S. Suicide Highest in World

Libs NEVER let the truth or facts stand in their way, and if necessary, they will make them up - that's how CNN continues to fill the 24 hr news cycle.

Velshi is being very dishonest when one considers the fact that it is countries like Japan, Hungary, and Germany that have among the highest suicide rates in the world.

I recently read an article on Japanese youth suicide that discussed things such as about 4600 young Japanese between ages 10 and 21 kill themselves on average per year and that the start of the school year and the national high school exam time are the worst times for this. It would take more that 250 mass school shootings (like Columbine or Stoneman) per year for the United States to equal the Japanese youth suicide number. Another not entirely uncommon thing to take place in Japan involves men coming home from work only to find that the wife has taken her life as well as those of the kids.

Man, talk about statistical claims without casual proof. Fact: There is a 99% correlation between cotton yields in the South and rainfall in Iceland. The Left would then say: Seed the clouds in Iceland and you’ll grow more cotton in the South.

Idiots...

By now everyone knows that those on the left feel no obligation to limit themselves to truthful statements in argumentation, or under any other circumstance.

They are at war with reality and normalcy, and therefore feel entitled to use words as weapons. Their goal is to shut down discussions they can’t win, and that means pretty much every discussion.

The truth is of precisely zero interest to them, except to the extent they can use (or misuse) it to win their point.

We can no longer be trusted to own guns , anyone can at any moment snap and either commit suicide or become a mass shooter.

That means YOU!

Morning Joe - the same people who support the right of a woman to kill her baby right up to the minute before she would give birth...

This isn’t about ‘life and death’ it’s about communists in our country wanting to disarm the American people.

Typically ridiculous SJW argument. Japan proves if you want to kill yourself then not having a gun is not a deterrent.

They openly admit that they just make up sh*t now and always.

What difference does it make when the viewer/listener/voter/politician/reporter/reportette American lacks critical thinking skills and is borderline mentally retarded on many levels?
