"Such is the complacency these great men have for the smiles of their prince
that they will gratify every desire of ambition and power at the expense of
truth, reason, and their country."

I see much ado, about per hundred thousand deaths, etc etc..but the
statement was largely true on the face of it. Shrug..cherry picking
is not something unique to the Right...lol..far from it.

See, Gunner defines "cherrypicking" as "pointing out the misuse of
statistics
for political purposes."

At the least, it gives the lie to the legend that a legally armed and
carrying citizenry will produce a blood bath.

But, were that the point, the statistics could have been presented
in such a fashion as to support that point, and that point could have been
mentioned in the process. No such actions were taken...

As it was presented, it was meaningless tripe masquerading as
information. Many posts of useful information later, Gunner
claims it said what he meant all along...

Amazing!
