Yep...this guy is an asshat, but even an asshat can get it right every once in a great while.....he listed the statistics around mass public shootings and other ways of dying.....
The left has lost its mind......Neil is now in a reeducation camp, apologizing to walls for his thought crimes...

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.

Tyson apologized on Monday saying in a lengthy Facebook message:
My intent was to offer objectively true information that might help shape conversations and reactions to preventable ways we die.
Where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the Tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America. What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information — my Tweet in particular — can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock, or trying to heal — or both.
