I remember subscribing to this Substack thinking “FINALLY A writer devoted to taking down the crooked seismology industry.” I’ve been disappointed ever since.

Um, easy access to AR-15s is really bad public policy.

Please cite some of the "Liberals who further the delusion that America has basically been a nonstop Klan rally for the past 400 years." Please limit yourself to those who are as prominent as the voices of the Far Right.

"Liberals use mass shootings to push for gun control and to further the delusion that America has basically been a nonstop Klan rally for the past 400 years." - some white guy on the internet

Interesting that you just now write this piece. Hmmm.

"I don’t need to ruminate on large-scale tragedies to know that things like white supremacy and radical Islam are bad."

Do you need a large-scale tragedy to know that transgenderism is bad?

I kinda think that you do.

"rare events" - how many mass shootings a day would make mass shootings not rare? How many school shootings a day would make talking about school shootings the sort of thing that is not "confirming our priors?"

And exactly how many people do you think talk about gun control only when there's been a school shooting? Yes, the conversation about gun control gets more noticeable after a tragedy but that doesn't mean any of us gun control proponents needed a shooting to think that way. That is one of the dumbest accusations I've yet read.
