There have been 204 mass shootings — and 204 days — in 2015 so far
just through july, 204 MASS SHOOTINGS, define as 4 or more killed in the same shooting incident
The definition of "mass shootings" used in that article does not require any deaths; instead, they used a definition based on number of people injured and/or killed. Mother Jones, in an unusual display of reasonable thinking, has decided that we should care more about incidents where deaths occur than those with multiple injured victims who survive.
Oh, I see....if you were shot by a mass shooter in the eye and blinded or shot in the legs and permanently crippled, or lost an arm in the shooting, or shot in the uterus area and no longer capable of bearing children, THAT isn't important......only if your dead, and killed but all other trauma with injuries are just something to dust off???? Okee dokee.
no...they are lying about the 204 shootings. they lie by implying that shootings happen all the time and are committed by normal people who simply buy a gun...that the mere possession of a gun causes a normal person to start shooting other people.....and that is the lie.
the majority of gun murder in this country 8,124 gun murders in 2014.........is confined to criminals, with long histories of violence and crimes....murdering other violent criminals during criminal behavior...and the next category is this same violent criminal grouping murdering each other at home over girlfriends and dice games and domestic abuse....because they are violent sociopaths who cannot control themselves and abuse drugs and alcohol.
Then you have 36 people killed by nuts,or terrorists....36 people.
So...normal gun owners don't kill people with their guns and they don't commit crimes with their guns.....but the anti gun people still want to ban gun ownership......
There are 357 million guns in private hands....that means with a total of 8,124 gun murders by violent criminals......356,991,876 million guns were not used to commit murder and that normal gun owners are not a problem...
But again...that doesn't matter..the anti gunners still want all the guns....they hate guns and gun owners....
so they have to lie...they lie about how many people die each year......claiming children are big victims when they aren't ....69 kids died in gun accidents in 2013 and 170 due to gun murder.....out of 74.2 million kids in the population...........and claiming that normal gun owners are more of a threat than the violent criminals who mainly kill each other.
You can't work the public into an anti gun frenzy when the truth about guns is known by the public......
and so they lie. they have to lie because the truth, facts,and reality will not allow them to ban guns......so they have to hide facts, create a fake reality and lie....
