Here are the uncontroverted facts from JAMA, first [before we even mention / dissect John’s latest distortions]. I think it important to set the record straight even before John has his brief moment to “spin / glossify” — them, i.e., polish the turd… up:

World-wide — top six’s gun death tolls (for 2016): Brazil saw 43,200, the US 37,200, Mexico 15,400, Colombia 13,300, Venezuela 12,800, and Guatemala 5,090, the JAMA study found.
To get granular… above, to the right, I’ve adapted a Vox graphic — to illustrate. The left primarily blue bar is the world’s population by percentages; the right bars expand the small band at the top of the left bar. The center column shows that just two countries (home to less than three per cent of the world’s population) account for more than one third of all gun deaths on the planet (a ten-fold disproportionality — Brazil is an “easy on guns” geography, too. Imagine that!). More broadly, just six countries, with just about 10 per cent of the world’s population account for half of all gun deaths (five-fold disproportionality).
Simply put, John distorts by (i) only counting mass shootings, but one woman killed by an intimate, in a “domestic” — is every bit as dead as each Parkland victim; and (ii) he spreads the incidents across the big US population to distort the actual effect of our gun craze here, since Brazil is far less populated than the US, it looks MUCH worse (more dangerous) — by orders of magnitude. So, John claims the USA’s frequency rate ranks 56th in his “special” world rankings — of mass shootings. I don’t imagine that helped ease the anguish of the families in Colorado last week, or the devout in the synagogue in San Diego, last month… very much.
At all.
Disgusting … liar.
John Hinderaker has been telling one version or another of these NRA lies since at least the year 2004.
He will answer to his maker (whatever that looks like, in his world-view), and if Karma takes sway — to the innocent souls of Parkland, MGM Grand Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, the Pulse nightclub, Mother Emmanuel, and Columbine (and dozens of others)…. at the gates, for it all. If there is any Karmic justice at all left in the Universe, that is… he will have to explain his lying — lying that over 15 years, has clearly cost human lives.

Well… tonight, in
home with their then-newborn), (iii) discouraged the trampling of personal liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, (iv) didn’t cheer people who cut up journalists with bone saws; (v) didn’t much like multi-trillion dollar deficits (and $2 trillion public works projects)… but most of all (vi) hated (would not be seen in the same room with) a wanna-be fascist who continually panders to Russian oligarchs, endangering National Security. [But those days are gone, in the Republican Party, it is now painfully clear. This current party bears no resemblance to the party of Lincoln, or even Reagan.]
This afternoon — on Easter 2019 — John has
No, John — for his part, in a post ironically replete with a picture of the inside of his own “Christian” protestant church [at left], as he sat in it, on this Easter morning — decides it is… solely Islamic terror.
As we repeatedly
John then goes immediately forward to conclude, preposterously — and wrongly — that Mr. Barr, as AG, gets to decide whether to prosecute — on those ten obstruction counts. John sniffs that “Barr has already determined, in his role as AG, that there was no obstruction….” Precious. Simply precious.
Tonight, John — with
Once again, I am
I only post here occasionally now… though truth is — there is no shortage of stupid, ill-considered, and just palin hateful material to choose from — when it comes to critiquing John Hinderaker’s posts at Powerline Blog.
And… point three — which actually ends the discussion is… not even John believes his own bullshit anymore — so he posts (what I am sure he intends to be self-mocking) ironic pieces, as a means of atoning for his thousands of prior racist works, during the 2003 to 2019 period.
Overnight, John bitterly
I primarily note John’s illogical, incoherent lunacy here — because it actually provides a window into how he, and like minded others, view racial lynchings. John wants to ignore them — write them out of class-room curricula.
Today, John Hinderaker sniffs, and tells the world what… Bob Mueller “
So, in sum, this time — John is not just wrong about who would win an election cycle. This time, it is all about a career criminal at 1600 Pennsylvania, known to John to be a crook as he entered the Oval Office — and John’s wilful enabling of felonious assaults on our experiment in order liberty (all to get the crumbs of favors, from 45’s table).
