who made false statements about the Luby's massacre(among other things)?
Tam points to information that at least, unlike so many academics, he's apparently actually dealing with the facts and learning about guns.
However.
Tam, you don't have to worry about crow. To borrow from AT in comments,
This gentleman is an academic. An intelligent man in a responsible position who probably makes official position statements to his board, his faculty, his student body - and the media - on a regular basis.
So either he does so entirely out of his ass (idiot), or he intentionally makes false statements when he believes the ends justify his means (liar).
I applaud popgun for reaching out to give the doctor some actual experience and knowledge, and the doctor for taking it. Let's hope there has been a real change in his perspective that he will use to guide the young minds over which he has substantial sway, making "factual" statements backed by actual facts instead of the partisan dogma that so thoroughly saturates his profession.
But that doesn't mean he wasn't an idiot, or a liar, or both...when he gave that teevee interview.
And it doesn't mean you were wrong to say so.
Indeed. Yeah, maybe a bit harsh, but pretty accurate.
