And we have mass shootings constantly. Our homicide rate is 4-5X higher than countries with strong gun control. You can flop around all you want, we have mass shootings regularly. Law enforcement gunned down regularly. Problems gun control countries donât have.You want me to link to the mass shootings they donât have? How about we compare homicide rates? Here it takes an angry kid for a mass shooting, there international terrorists. How dumb are you?Yeah they have a real problem, a mass shooting every few years. We are lucky to go a week. You are indeed brainless.I love when the brainless (see what I did there?) post....they make it soooooo easy.
Watch this:
. âObama In Paris: Mass Shootings Donât Happen In Other CountriesâŚ. The only problem with his answer was that he was standing in Paris, where a mass shooting conducted by Islamic State terrorists had just taken place, killing over 100 people.â

Link or lie?
OK....time for the education you are so sorely lacking.
1. "In fact, what the media isnât saying is that many of the fatalities in the Mass Shooting Tracker are actually gang-related â not acts of terrorism or irrational mayhem.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 12,272 deaths from gunfire in the US so far in 2015. But of these 12,272 deaths, 4,038 stemmed from an officer-involved shooting, 2,085 from a home invasion robbery, 1,755 from accidents, and 1,133 from self-defense.
The number of people killed in âmass shootingsâ to date in 2015 is 309 â but even these âmass shootingsâ include gang violence, robberies, and family murder-suicide incidents. As Mark Follman points out in the New York Times, âincluding them in the same breath suggests that a 1 am gang fight in a Sacramento restaurant, in which two were killed and two injured, is the same kind of event as a deranged man walking into a community college classroom and massacring nine and injuring nine others.â
When you eliminate incidents like gang shootouts, robberies and family murder-suicides, it turns out the number of âmass shootingsâ are actually far less than the media is claiming.
Mother Jones, that bastion of gun rights fanaticism, counts 73 incidents of mass shootings over the past three decades â roughly two a year."

2. "On December 3, The Washington Post reported that gun crime has been on the decline for about 20 years, except for high-profile shootings in gun-free zones; WaPo claims those shootings are on the increase.
According to WaPo, âIn 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans. ⌠By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 [per 100,000].â
Breitbart News previously pointed to this decline and explained it correlated with a massive increase in privately owned firearms over the same period of time. For example,Congressional Research Service showed that the number of privately owned firearms increased from 192 million in 1994 to 310 million in 2009. And record background checks under Obama make it easy to see how tens of millions more privately owned guns have found their way into Americansâ hands since 2009.
So gun ownership increased for 20 years, but âgun homicidesâ decreasedâexcept in gun free zones." WaPo: Gun Violence Declining, Except in Gun-Free Zones
3. "More than 40 percent of all 2015âs mass shootings didnât kill anybody. Another 104, just under 30 percent, had a single fatality, which means more than two-thirds of all âmass shootingsâ arenât even multi-homicide events.
Of the 355 âmass shootingsâ noted by the Post, only 40 of them (about 11 percent) meet the threshold of a âmass murderâ as defined by the FBI, meaning there were at least four fatalities. But even these werenât all mass shootings in the conventional sense. As pointed out by the Washington Free Beacon, many of them were insteadgrisly murder-suicides, gangland massacres, or robberies, eliminating at least 15 more âmass shootingsâ from the list."
355?! Why This Number Is Meaningless When It Comes To Mass Shootings
Did you notice that everything I post is linked, sourced and documented.....unlike you, brainless.
I guess you have to retract this, " We are lucky to go a week."
Smashed another custard pie in your ugly kisser!!!!
"And we have mass shootings constantly. "
So now you need an English lesson???
Sure, you dunce.

adverb

Two a year....like the number of times you go for your worming.
