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

[Reily]

“...But NOT for Nye! ....”

Nye clogs the filter!

But other then that you’re right!

[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.....

[pfflier]

An unexpected rational voice.

And some inconvenient truths too.

[Mr.Unique]

Did you read the entire rant?

[Mr.Unique]

Well...looks like I need a reading class.

I read the reactions as a part of Tysons.

[Keyhopper]

Profanity is the product of an unsophisticated mind

[Reily]

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.

[Repeal The 17th]

Smash Mouth got their name from Mike Ditka’s term:
“Smash Mouth Football”.

[Lockbox]

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…..

[Flick Lives]

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.

[AlanGreenSpam]

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?

[C210N]

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

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.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

“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."

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.

[NorthMountain]

I’m honestly shocked that deGrassehole Tyson got this right.
