This is a 🧵 Another year come and gone and another year of blatant data manipulation and misclassification from the k-12 school shooting database. This year I will go through about 50 of the 103 incidents it counted in 2025 that fell outside its already overly broad and overinclusive criteria. The first sentence in the introduction of this database says, "Creating a reliable data set hinges on determining the inclusion and exclusion criteria." It fails to follow its own methodology and the rules it set for itself. It is not a reliable school shooting database.

No suprise this evil person lost their medical license. This person should never be allowed near any child.

Minor mistakes dont say, "touch me and find out" and then end up with intentionally putting a knife in someone's chest.

Remember these facts the next time someone says an old person (who lived through these things before they were buried by history) has bigoted views.

Let me ruin your June for a second. Every year when National Gun Violence Awareness Month rolls around, the same people who have not read a single page of John Lott's 13,312-regression peer-reviewed study start posting pictures of children and demanding you feel responsible for deaths you did not cause and had nothing to do with. So. Let us talk about children. Since they brought it up. In 2006, the CDC recorded 642 accidental firearm deaths in the entire United States. For children under the age of ten — the number was 31. Thirteen under age five. Eighteen between five and nine. Tragic? Absolutely. Every single one. But here is the number that will not appear on a single "Orange Friday" awareness post: 80. Eighty children under the age of five drown in bathtubs every year. Every. Single. Year. ALMOST THREE TIMES as many children drown in bathtubs annually as die from ALL firearm accidents combined — including adults. And forty more drown in five-gallon water buckets. The kind you buy at Home Depot for $4.99. I have given this information at talks and watched jaws drop, because people genuinely believe the number is in the thousands. They have been so thoroughly marinated in "gun violence awareness" content that their perception of actual risk is completely detached from reality. That is not an accident. That is the point of the campaign. Where is Bathtub Awareness Month? Where is the congressional hearing on five-gallon bucket control? Where is the hashtag? Where are the orange ribbons for the children who drowned while their parents were in the next room? There are none. Because the campaign was never about children. It was never about safety. If it were about safety, they would be equally outraged about cars — which killed 1,305 children that same year. Or fire. Or drowning. But they are not. The selective fury lands exclusively on firearms. And if you are a scientist, which I happen to be, you do not get to cherry-pick your data based on which conclusion you prefer. Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism. Now let us talk about what the actual data says about guns and safety, because John Lott ran 13,000-plus statistical regressions across every county in America and the results are not ambiguous. Fifty-six percent of convicted felons surveyed in a ten-state study said they would NOT attack a target they believed was armed. Fifty-six percent. The deterrence is real, it is documented, and it functions whether or not a shot is ever fired. The firearm you carry protects your neighbor whether your neighbor knows it or not. When states passed right-to-carry laws, multiple-victim public shootings — what the media insists on calling "mass shootings" to maximize terror — dropped by 67 percent. Deaths in those events dropped by 75 percent. Injuries by 81 percent. States that adopted these laws virtually ELIMINATED mass public shootings within four to five years. The remaining events? They happened almost exclusively in the specific locations where guns remained banned. The gun-free zones. The places we hang the sign that only the law-abiding ever read. There were between 760,000 and 3.6 million defensive gun uses in the United States last year alone, depending on which of fifteen national polls you consult. A JAMA Network Open study from March 2025 estimated 489,000 DGUs in which a firearm was actually discharged. The Department of Justice's own National Crime Victimization Survey puts the conservative floor at 65,000 defensive uses per year against assaults, robberies, and home invasions. No dead body. No coverage. No awareness month. Here is one more number for you: 74. Seventy-four percent of convicted felons in a National Institute of Justice survey said they actively avoided homes they believed were occupied by armed residents. Criminals respond to incentives. That is not ideology — that is basic deterrence theory, and it is confirmed by the people who actually commit the crimes. I also want you to think carefully about something the Supreme Court already settled. DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989). Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005). Two separate rulings establishing that the government has NO legal obligation to protect you as an individual. None. You are your own first responder. That is not my opinion — that is settled constitutional law from the highest court in this country. So the political class that just told you the government is not required to protect you... is also the one demanding you surrender the tool you use to protect yourself. I want fewer people dead. That is why I know the data. That is why I read the book. That is why I am furious every June when emotion and fundraising replace science and evidence in a "debate" that has actual life-or-death consequences for real people. You want to honor the children? Honor ALL of them. The ones who drowned. The ones who died in car crashes. And the ones who will never be born because a woman alone in her house at 2 a.m. had no way to stop what was coming through her door. But what do I know — I am only a published textbook author, a science teacher, a father of four, and a combat medic who spent his career reducing human suffering and who actually read the peer-reviewed data before forming an opinion. IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — did you know the bathtub number? Or did the narrative keep that from you? Tell me.

People claimed @jk_rowling was reducing men and women to their reproductive ability when she posted the biological definition of sex. Here is my response.

Americans have a sickness. So many can’t celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country because EVERYONE has lost sight of what our country is: 50 states under one federal government, full of people from all walks of life with our freedoms enshrined in the National Constitution. A country founded on rebellion made successful by the PEOPLE. Not by politicians. Not by political pundits and the DNC/RNC. By the ditch diggers, teachers, carpenters, etc. The CPI is only mentioned when it can be used to point fingers at “the other guy.” The truth is, the 250th anniversary is a celebration of the people. Not of the administration, not of the politicians, not of the political warfare that plagues our media. I’m celebrating the 250th anniversary of the greatest nation in world history without praise or ridicule of political demigods. I’m celebrating my fellow Americans, from all walks of life, who make our country great EVERY SINGLE DAY. 🇺🇸

I’ll follow back everyone who reposts this:

Womens toilets/locker rooms have always been biologically sex based, not "gender" Just because you think you are a women doesnt give you the right to make actual women in those spaces uncomfortable. Use your biological sex bathroom or make your own space.

The ATF admitted to storing nearly ONE BILLION gun owner records—and 94% are already digitized and searchable. We call that a federal gun registry. And history shows exactly where registration leads: confiscation. Take action below to end the registry.⤵️

George Floyd wouldn't be alive today even if the event hadn't happened with the police officer. His drug use with his comorbidities would have killed him well before today, in fact he more than likely could/would have died that same day, or days after.

"Biological woman" is an actual scientific term. "Trans woman" is a word to identify a man pretending to be a women. It isnt science or scientific. The ability of being able to get pregnant is part of it. Even if a biologocal woman can't get pregnant, they are still a woman. A trans woman is always a man. Scientifically they can't ever be a biological woman.

Says the least impartial judge on the court. She is an embarrassment.

Its a terrible idea and unsustainable in our country. Even if taxes were increased dramatically, we would not be able to sustain it.

What I see are 198 Democrats that are borderline pedo's. A school should not be able to hide and help underage children and teens make decisions without parental consent, full stop. Anyone saying otherwise shouldn't be around children. The Democrats that voted against the Bill are disgusting and poor excuses for human beings.

Researcher Stuart Gilmore published a study on the Australian gun buyback in AJPH. He found that non-gun deaths dropped at a faster rate than gun deaths following the buyback, and that the buyback did not lower deaths. Will @MarkJCarney take an evidence-based policy approach?

Your "polls" are insignificant and they intentionally use wording to get people to respond they way you want. Our rights arent decided on on a popular vote.

The gun industry is pushing build-your-own firearm kits that allow anyone to build untraceable guns without a background check - True, this isnt a bad thing It’s dangerous and puts us all at risk -false, this is your opinion, and a very poor one at that
