Lying With Stats: Biden/Klarevas

 Somebody named "Klarevas" provides 'assault-weapon/mass-killings' data that Biden uses to scare us.  John Lott took those numbers apart.  (PDF formatting below doesn't like Blogger.)

...I show Klarevas’s unique data that the Biden administration and others have been relying on. Klarevas creates his own definition of mass public shootings, requiring six or more murders and ignoring the FBI’s provisions that the attack must occur in a public place and cannot involve another type of crime such as robbery. Still, even with those changes, the share of mass public shootings involving assault weapons fell after the assault weapon ban sunset. The increase in attacks primarily involves more non-assault weapons. Gun control advocates don’t seem to have an explanation for that....

(Where "unique data" means "created specifically to lie and scare people." )

And no, the liars' club of "gun control advocates" do NOT have an explanation.  And so long as they believe that they can control or regulate evil out of the world, they will not ever have 'an explanation.'  

Statistical manipulation-for-propaganda (lying) is commonplace with them, of course.  "Climate Change" is another example where again they insist that they can control 'the evil' of temperature fluctuation out of the world.

So long as YOU pay the price, of course.

Extra credit, same theme:

How many of those NFL players wearing "Equity" shirts last weekend have re-distributed their income to 'the community' so that the NFL player is only getting $25K/year?

Yup.  They're doing the talk, and everyone else has to do the walk.  Of course, most of them were suckered into that Virtue Signal; the real meaning of "equity" never occurred to them.
