Those are the types of guns used in all murders, not mass shootings.

Yeah, I'm going to agree that I can't get on the Peterson Express because his standpoints (many of them) are coming from a bias that Atheists are vanishingly rare (Hey, over here! *hand waving excitedly*). I've listened to some of his material, and after watching his exchange with Matt Dillahunty, I'm pretty sure he's not the guy I want to be taking life advice from.

He says that any woman whose primary concern in life by the age of 30 isn't having kids has something wrong with her, has a disagreeable temperament and is incompassionate. He says the idea that women have been discriminated against throughout history is appalling. I didn't say he's awful, but I think that statement is awful. He's so obsessed with transgender people that he directly compares pressure to call them by their chosen pronouns with the Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist state policies of the Soviet Union that killed tens of millions of people. Like... really? I have no interest in calling him a nazi. That kind of hyperbole is more his style.

I agree with some of what he says, but can’t stand when he tries to pigeonhole every non religious person into a Tolstoy character. He has the same problem that so many pundits do, claiming to put facts before feelings until his underlying irrational base is exposed and then backpedaling into vagueness before the subject gets changed. You can find a video on YouTube where he has a discussion with Matt Dillahunty. Pay attention to the black and white facts he pushes about curing smoking and atheism. He makes broad claims and then backs away from talking about his personal beliefs and carries his conclusions too far without backing up the arguments.
