After the horrific mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson angered the internet by putting the number of deaths in perspective.
"In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings," Tyson wrote. "On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose

Democrats don’t do science or math, at least mot truthfully. They ignored the chicago shootings this weekend.
“...But NOT for Nye! ....”
Nye clogs the filter!
But other then that you’re right!
I really doubt he said anything of the sort.
He'll be about as welcome as a skunk at a picnic among the nation's Beautiful People.
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.
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.
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.....
And some inconvenient truths too.
Did you read the entire rant?
Well...looks like I need a reading class.
I read the reactions as a part of Tysons.
Profanity is the product of an unsophisticated mind
I made that mistake when I first read it too.
However that made the perceived content not match the title.
So I re-read it, clearly I previously read it too fast.
All those emotional comments from libtards are a joke. They want “something done” about it, claiming “nothing” is being “done”. They won’t always say it, but they want you disarmed. They think that by disarming law abiding citizens they will also disarm thugs and criminals and everything will be sunshine and lolipops. They are simply the useful idiots of those who would absolutely rule over a defensless people. No different or better than European leftists of the mid 20th century.
Smash Mouth got their name from Mike Ditka’s term:
“Smash Mouth Football”.
When it does not fit their agenda some people get mad, almost to the point of violence against those who will not drink the kool-aid ..
Vending machines have killed at least 37 people. You should really calm down.

Always wondered about that. Turns out rocking vending machines can be dangerous as they weigh several hundred pounds.
When will we see statistics on how many people are killed by blacks using handguns compared to killings by whites using handguns?
True, whites do more mass shootings, but I’m thinking with places like Chicongo and Detroit and Baltimore, the numbers would be pretty sobering and would show blacks kill far more people.
Anybody seen such stats?
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handguns...
That's weird, he forgot to include the 3500 deaths, or 50% of those that enter abortion clinics.
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
Really, it shouldn't take a highly-trained scientific genius to figure this out, but there you are.
I’m honestly shocked that deGrassehole Tyson got this right.
