Immigration Moderate Says "Yes it's an Emergency"

[Yukaphile]

You can't just detach yourself from your feelings no matter how hard some people have deluded themselves into thinking they have. And no, that's not what I was saying. STOP THAT. Of course, it's possible with enough time you could break down the universe into a single scientific equation, but that day ain't today.

I haven't blamed anything for it really. And I'm not finding anything on a downward trend you speak of.

It's been my general experience that the more certain somebody is of their objectivity, the more they've learned to rationalize and excuse their biases.

The more someone comes across spearheading a position bounded predominantly by logic assertions and limited instances of data the me more apparent they come off unfounded.

It took me like 30 seconds to Google this. Or is politifact not an acceptable source for you?

Ironically enough, violent crime is not synonymous with mass shootings.

Let alone gun violence, of which mass shootings are in fact derivative of in stats:
