DON'T YOU DARE LINKING TO WIKIPEDIA, the leftist marxist communist shithole of the interwebs!

Waaaaah? Read both links. Even the wikipedida one points to him founding his whole career essentially on confirmation bias. Basically the prince of junk science and an asshole to boot.
Kinda shocked here bud.

Can't believe this is the gun lobby's hero. A guy who claimed to be Mary Rosh, an online commentator claiming to be a former student of his who would frequently post about how amazing he was, when in fact it was him. This guy is a cheeseball and a liar.

gz this is a truckload of very carefully constructed graph axis to make sure only parts of a picture are shown, to give a false impression.
this misinformation is also carefully interspersed with plain disinformation - eg the usa is not at all unique in gun ownership or gun crime, and notice how he just says that it is without even comparing anywhere else to make his point, because if he did we'd see that in fact there is no uniqueness.
