Neil deGrasse Tyson points out the Democrats misdirection ploy on gun violence

29 people were killed in two recent mass shooting events.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is getting flack because he pointed out that that on any given day far more people are killed by medical errors and car accidents than by mass shootings but our emotions lead us to respond to the tiny number of mass shooting victims more than to the much more numerous examples of other types of deaths

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

While he didn't intend to his logic reveals the con game that the Democrats and the #FakeNews media are playing on we the people.

On the weekend of 7/26-7/29 9 people were murdered and 39 wounded in Democrat run Chicago.  That's not an unusual weekend.  While Chicago is the worst other Democrat run cities like Baltimore have similar problems.

Yet the Democrats tell us the problem isn't the fact that thousands of Blacks are shot every year in Chiraq--so called by Spike Lee because it was safer to be in Iraqi than in Chicago during the aftermath of the Iraqi war--but that some white nationalist shoots a few people once in awhile.

Clearly we want to stop mass shootings but we can't justify taking guns away from honest people to do so.  It would be like banning cars because that white nationalist monster used a car to kill a woman in Charlottesville.  In any case there is no evidence that any sort of gun control would prevent mass shootings.

It's also interesting to note that Chicago has draconian gun control laws which have done nothing to stem the violence.  Nearby cities with much less stringent gun control aren't seeing the mass shootings that Chicago has.

What the Democrats are trying to do is get we the people to ignore the slaughter of Blacks going on in Democrat run cities with stringent gun control laws and pretend that the occasional mass shooting by some nut, which wouldn't have been prevented by any of the gun control laws Democrats are pushing for, is grounds for preventing we the people from being able to defend ourselves.

It's time to hold the Democrats responsible for the daily mass shootings going on in the cities they run  and stop letting them misdirect our attention in order to strip away the Constitutionally guaranteed right for we the people to defend ourselves.
