And shootings. This is from a couple years ago, but still valid.
It turns out that not only did the U.S. not have the most frequent mass shootings, it was No. 62 on the list, lower than places like Norway, Finland, and Switzerland.
There was also no relationship between the rate of gun ownership in different countries and the rate of mass shootings.
If journalists had just demanded Lankford explain his study methods before touting his results, his “more mass shootings” myth would never have spread.
Multiple people have pointed out to me over my years that if someone is using language designed to create a strong emotional response from you, they're not doing so in order to help you or protect you. They're doing so because by creating a strong emotional response they can weaken your rational thought and make it easier to manipulate you.
All of the running around right now shrieking and screaming about guns is designed to trigger that emotional response. Thankfully, Americans don't seem to be falling for it. That won't stop the Left from trying to strip your rights away.
