Have you got some actual facts and statistics to back that up, Frank?A strange paradox is emerging in America: Overall violent-crime rates are down, but active shooter events — in which a person is trying to kill multiple people in a populated area — appear to be on the rise, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics.
Meanwhile, a just-released study finds that although the United States has just about 5 percent of the world's population, the country has 31 percent of the world's mass shooters. The reasons for these numbers are complex, researchers say, but the data suggest that the availability of guns, and perhaps the American obsession with fame, may be to blame.
The United States has more private gun ownership and more desire for fame than any other country in the world, said Adam Lankford, a criminal justice professor at the University of Alabama and author of the new research, presented Sunday (Aug. 23) at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.

Why America Is Prone to Mass Shootings
We have far, far, far, far, far, far fewer "mass shootings" than in countries with a "progressive" government and unarmed citizens; it's not even close!
I'd be wanting to shoot someone/thing with an uzi, too, if I were them. It's sad, though.They're also saying that they all plan on buying a gun and carrying it at all times. Don't worry; they're mad as hell.Once God was taken out of public education and right vs wrong, is now 50 shades of grey, no wonder there is a lot of mass shootings...Liberals, slap yourselves on the back for making the sanctity of life, no longer cherished.....A strange paradox is emerging in America: Overall violent-crime rates are down, but active shooter events — in which a person is trying to kill multiple people in a populated area — appear to be on the rise, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics.

Why America Is Prone to Mass Shootings
Keep God out of public education. I noticed something with the church shooting people, its like they are in a cult like atmosphere, I would be darn mad and I would never say things like
"Our church family is in heaven now"
"She is in the arms of Jesus"
BS. I'd be class action suing the Air Force for their negligence. Not normal for them to be such pacifist at this time. Its like they drink water with downers in them.
So we are going to have religious zealots with guns. Great.
