Today's guest on Rosie: an unknown author who watched his heroine addict mother kill his stepfather with a gun. (Hmmm- he sounds real impartial).
The tactic today is as follows: If dad wants to get a gun, Mom needs to intervene. Boys minds work "differently" than girls- they have a "need" to move things thru space. Therefore boys will shoot a gun, if they handle it.
The lies and half truths today include the following:
- A child is twice as likely to commit suicide with a gun in the home as without. (He should read the Dept of Justice study, rather than HCI's homepage.)
- Guns are the leading cause of death of teenage boys in the home
- Guns are the leading cause of death of women in the home
- There are more guns in America than people
- American gunmakers produce 2,000 firearms every hour
Todays deal:
Rosie gets to have a quasi-expert remouth her words. The quasi expert gets to sell copies of his book on the gravemarkers of dead children, rather than dealing with the causes of youth violence.
