I took the number from legitimate mass shootings: school shootings, workplace shootings, mall shootings, and theatre shooting. No family shootings.From 2000 to 2015, 90 people have been killed by terrorists in the UK.
From 2000 to 2012, 246 people have been killed in the US during mass shootings.
Why are Americans so concerned about so called Islamic terrorism and not concerned about mass shootings?
What is the difference?
The likelihood of an American dying of a terrorist attack is 1 in 45,808. You are more likely to die choking on food, 1 in 3, 409.
How likely are foreign terrorists to kill Americans? The odds may surprise you
The number of 246 is generated by lying. They are taking cases where family members kill their families. Terrible without question, but does not conform to the definition of a active/mass casualty shooter. The reality is the two mass shootings in Norway and Paris, have killed more people than all of the mass shootings in the USA over the last 20 years.
If they wanted to actually reduce the number of murders here in the US it would be comparatively easy, we know that 8-10% of the criminal population commits 60% of the violent crime here in the US. Lock those ultra violent offenders up forever and the murder rate here would plummet. The overwhelming majority of those criminals are gang bangers. Heck, Chicago has 150,000 KNOWN gang bangers. That's insane.
And, like I said, they screw with those statistics. They will count a random gang shooting on the street as a school shooting if it is within three blocks of a school. Gang on gang shootings are likewise not considered to be mass shootings (but the anti gun groups DO count them) as they are technically at war with each other. They just don't care that innocent people might be in the way.
I don't have the page anymore, but I counted the incidents and numbers of death one by one: ALL were school shootings, theater shootings, mall shootings, etc. NOT GANG SHOOTINGS. Sorry. Again, you are looking for excuses to prove something isn't right when it is.
