Quote Of The Day

The quote of the day comes from Lee Williams, The Gun Writer, in his fisking of The Trace’s  “The Most Memorable Gun Violence Journalism of 2023.”

Regarding a CNN story that used the Gun Violence Archive (sic) as its source, he wrote:

Any data from the Gun Violence Archive, we have shown numerous times, is about as reliable as a $20 Rolex. Keep in mind the GVA claims there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and realistic definition.

A $20 Rolex is right up there with a bridge for sale that connects Manhattan with Brooklyn. Both are offered up for sale by con artists.
