Meaningless and pointless statistics are meaningless and pointless.

Can anyone seriously argue that Norway has a bigger problem with mass shootings than the United States?

As long as you dismiss all stats about gun violence as meaningless? Cool 👆

Anyone?

Unless of course those statistics supported your views then they wouldn't be so meaningless and pointless, eh? Just like when I posted a while back that the U.S. had the strongest economy in the world due to capitalism and you replied with charts/stats that supposedly indicated that countries you (and other misinformed lefties as well) mistakenly thought were "socialist" like Norway had a stronger GDP per capita or something.

Funny how you're so selective about which stats are meaningless and pointless and which ones aren't. Like the ones related to climate change nonsense, for instance. Ones that supposedly support your positiion are all fine and dandy but the ones that don't? Nah, those are irrelevant and pointless.

I'll take that as a no.

As I expected, just deflect away from the fact that you are so selective about which stats you think are relevant and which ones aren't.

And I'll take that as a "no I don't dismiss all gun violence stats as meaningless".

Splurges unrelated nonsense about GDP and climate change yet I'm deflecting in asking for someone to make a serious argument for the statistic directly related to the topic and the one currently being discussed.

So.

Does Norway have a bigger mass shooting problem than the United States, as indicated by the discussed statistic?

Yes or no, you dismiss all stats related to gun violence?

A statistic is meaningless therefore all statistics are meaningless is pretty big strawmanning even for you.

They only dismiss facts that go against their narrative.

You already said that. Still haven't said what that narrative is, mind you.

So you cherry pick which gun violence stats to dismiss. I gotcha.

Still not going to answer the question?

I wonder why.

Someone will be along to bingo you, I guarantee it.

Top marks for irony, fail grade for deflection.

So

Norway

Or

United States

I'll even do some of the work for you.

Number of mass shootings in Norway this century...1

Number of mass shootings in the US this century?...

Yep. That's the pointless ones. Well done, SM.

Are you going to make the argument that Norway has a bigger mass shootings problem than the United States?

It's

United States...?
