He's made several anti-2A posts in the past. The interesting thing about this one is that it's statistics-based; he's getting absolutely slammed in the comments (unsurprisingly). Someone called him "problematic." I love when data is "problematic."He's a scientist, he deals in facts. You'll note that he in no way says he's pro or anti 2a.

Yes, he basically misjudged the the extremity to which their "emotions respond more to spectacle than to data" is what happened - you can't convince a person who has gone deep into emotion that they're just being emotional. His apology is an apology about his tweet being "true but unhelpful" for many, and that as an educator he miscalculated whether it would teach them....annnnnnnd here's the apology.

Lets see if "they" let him go with that or drag him all the way.

Of course. He alienated his target audience. He’s not a scientist, he’s an entertainer. People don’t want facts that cloud their dogma....annnnnnnd here's the apology.
