No easy answer to the question of gun violence.

I made this short video of me using the interactive chart on gun deaths at FiveThirtyEight.com. I encourage you to go to the website and use it yourself. But...




...more important than this chart are the methodologies to collect information that goes into it. For instance, how a medical examiner labels a gun death decides which category in the above chart it will go into. 

Liberal Democratic Socialist Politically Correct Commie RINO Fascists who scream gun control and the NRA is the Devil, would never see an ambiguity if it walked up and slapped them in face. 

Yet the subject is full of ambiguity. Suicide, accicental, homicide, or unintentional death involving a gun? Which is it? You might think the answer is cut and dried, but it often isn't. Two medical examiners can see the same situation and come to different conclusions. And if the case goes to court, the surrounding facts can then change. Was it an intentional or accidental homicide? 

Does the technical term for the death reflect the situation on the ground? Often, no. In fact, all parts of the subject of guns are...well, subjective. 

Given that, the folks at FiveThirtyEight.com have done a fine job of parsing the data. They did such a fine job, that even that bastion of Liberal Media itself, the Washington Post, ran a story on the ambiguity of the subject. You can read that here. 

Of course, the big challenge is...


...how to get the Liberal Democratic Socialist Politically Correct Commie RINO Fascists to understand ambiguity. I don't think we can. 

The laws of probability say that if you are reading this article, then you understand the nature of ambiguity and the role it plays in life. You then can extrapolate from that its role in the subject of guns. 

But how many Liberal Democratic Socialist Politically Correct Commie RINO Fascists are reading this? If you are one of those, it would be most helpful if you could, pretty please, self-identify by leaving a comment below or emailing me at angeladurden@msn.com


Think about the Las Vegas shooting


When I hear "mass shooting", I always think it is one, maybe two, actors. But it can be more. Democratic government representatives, despots, dictators, and others in power, have ordered mass shootings. We tend not to think of those incidents if they involve race riots or genocide. But they are. 

See? Ambiguity quoted by MSM equals misled public. 

Which is why the likes of me are on the rise. 

Your Citizen Journalist thanks you for your time and patient consideration.

Numbers

By Angela Durden

Did you know that 93 million people in this nation die every day from gun violence? That means our nation will be a wasteland in less than five days.

When the edited snippet of the McAuliffe soundbite is pushed out that's what unthinking people will think.

Thank goodness we had an intrepid, fast-thinking reporter in the crowd who pointedly asked McAuliffe if he meant to say 93 million? McAuliffe repeated that number then caught himself and said, "93 individuals a day." According to the FBI,  93 is over double what the daily murder rate is, and the FBI's stats include all forms of murder, so death by gun is even lower.

Compared to most countries in this world, the U.S. is extremely safe...and it isn't because of gun control. But the progressives do not care about truth. They care about revolutionary power grab. That's why when Terry McAuliffe misspeaks, you won't see the Progressives and the Democrats and the RINOs and the radical aging hippies say a thing about it.

But let President Trump misspeak and next thing you know they're screaming LIAR!
