26. "Now what do you have to say, hotshot?"

Every single gun control state fares better than Alaska with respect to violent crime rate & property rate


What do I have to say?

That you're hiding behind rates and muddying the waters as usual, as those of your ilk are known, habitually, historically, to do. Me, I think that ought to be the definition of 'carping', personally.

Beevul obviously does not comprehend that he mislead as to what his chart represented, and the pathetic little charlatan thinks he self exonerates himself simply by denying it:
Beevul's map/chart measures gun deaths, including suicide & accidents, not overall gun violence.


Oh, look, an accusation that I misled (someone) as to what the map I posted means. Hey james, reading is fundamental:

That's a raw map of gun violence as it happens, where it happens. It paints a bit of a different picture than the brady bunch would have everyone believe, does it not?

If you have a problem with that, perhaps you should take it up with the authors, since they titled it 'INFO at a glance: Gun violence since Newtown'.

P.S. "pathetic little charlatan" is a personal attack, James.

On edit: it appears the jury agreed.
