Math, It\u2019s a Thing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nA study published this week by the Kaiser Foundation says that 1 in 5 people in the US has a family member who has died after being shot. This is a survey pretending to be science. Let\u2019s do the math. I will even be kind and use the Kaiser foundation\u2019s numbers. (FYI: The Kaiser Foundation is a lefty anti gun pseudoscience think tank)<\/p>\n
Averaging the data they publish for the past 21 years, they claim that the annual firearm death rate in the US was 10.75 per 100,000. That equates to 225.75 people per 100,000 over the past 21 years. Or in other words, one person in 445 has died a so-called \u201cgun death\u201d in the past 21 years. Even if you assume that each person killed is from a unique family, for 1 in 5 people to have had a firearm death in their family would mean family sizes of 89 people. The math doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n
The average family size in the US has remained stable at 3.1 people. The statistic is impossible, even if you count grandparents, siblings, cousins, and more. The entire study is pseudoscientific garbage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
With these hoplophobic fascists, you just gotta take that as read from the very beginning. I say again: stop yammering about it and just come and take<\/em> them already, shitlibs. Let\u2019s all see how that works out for ya in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Divemedic runs the numbers.
