The Coward of Broward could learn a lot from this teacher who engaged a school shooter unarmed.

That's a pretty big dildo. I wonder if she used it?

But, but . . . muh narrative!

There Are Fewer School Shootings Now Than During the 1990s

And when it comes to things like homicides, there is no evidence that things are getting worse. It is indeed true that things aren't like they were "when we were kids," but that's a good thing. There were far more homicides in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s than there are today. Things were even worse than that during the 1970s. In fact, the homicide rate in the US was cut in half between 1991 and 2014. And while the homicide rate has inched up over the past two years, it is nowhere near where it was "when we were kids."

. . .

Many observers will still point out that even a small number of school shootings is too many. That's true enough, but when the multi-decade trend is downward, it would hardly be honest to attempt to frame the current situation as a "crisis." Indeed the challenge should be to discover what factors have led to the decline in violence, and act accordingly. Given that gun ownership has greatly increased in recent decades, it may be that the answer lies somewhere beyond a simple government prohibition on guns.

More guns . . . [fill in the blank].

Huh. Looks like it started going down a little after the '94 assault weapons ban.

And kept going down after it ended in 2004. Huh, almost as if correlation != causation or something...

It's almost as if you might think autism is caused by rising organic food sales too...

I fucking knew it.

Somebody SWATed David Hoggs house today.

It's generally not very funny, but it is in this case. Give him a lesson of firearms only in the hands of government.
