And no real understanding of the historical context of the Second Amendment, either. (Just because these people are equally stupid..."violent video games!" "Asperger's!" doesn't make him right.)

Penn Gillette is a dick of the utmost magnitude.

...I've had the opportunity to engage him in some minor debates (through my engagement with the skeptical movement) and he is a real light weight.

I didn't watch the vid and won't so I'll assume you have a point but almost everything else I've seen or read coming from that guy is pretty hard to stomach.

child passengers, and just how 'rare' these mass murders are.

Libertarian gas-bag who has a child's grasp of politics.

Yes, if it had never been reported, everything would be just fine.

He's part of the problem.

No, they do not kill people, they kill kids.

the women here are fear mongering, LYING about people with aspergers - saying things out of their asses with NO FACTS.

On the other hand, Penn Jillette talks about probability (remember how much we all liked that during the election season) and about issues of harm to children that GET IGNORED constantly because they aren't a big splashy news event.

It's too bad that the comments here indicate as little thought about the video as the women in it.

Jillette DEFENDS PEOPLE WITH AUTISM against the LIES coming from these idiots on this show.

I would like to make a personal plea to everyone here to not watch bullshit like this on tv. It's no different than going into a church and hearing some preacher pull "facts" out of his wahzoo to justify himself.

This is the first time I've seen WW.

Those women were doing harm to people with autism by speculating about a situation they know nothing about.

As the mother of an autistic son, I would like to tell them to shut the fuck up.

...he proceeds to ignore them. I'm glad he is defending folks with autism from prejudice - that's half of liberalism. But then he ignores the other half of liberalism... helping them out.

What's his point?


Don't make me watch a 10 minute video to argue something. Use your grown-up words.

is he wrong?

React less and read more.

is not a cause of concern?

Focus on what you wish.

A stupid fucking dickhead, at that.
