Number of mass public shootings in U.S. this year as of May 16, 2022?

[Cardinal Carminative]

Yes...the U.S. is safer because normal Americans have guns....

And there's 20 fewer little kids who will compete for those guns now.

The Europeans in the 1920s banned and confiscated guns from their people......in the 1930s the German socialists murdered 15 million men, women and children........do you know how big that number is? That happened in just 6 years........barely 15 years after the countries of Europe took guns away from normal people....

Yes, let's overextend the metaphor just a bit. Because there's only TWO STATES: either a vicious dictatorship murdering millions of people each year OR there's a country that routinely sees its children gunned down.

I'm sorry but I don't accept your premise.

Americans use their guns 1.1 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies, murders, stabbings, beatings, and last year they stopped 4 mass public shootings........

But they use them MORE to murder each other. We have among the highest per capita gun homicide rate of any developed nation on earth.

So, you don't really understand the issue....

How many piles of little kids bodies does one have to see to "understand the issue"?

So mass public shootings are the rarest of rare events.

Not really. There have been 213 mass shootings in 2022. I know that goes against your favored narrative.

Halfway through year, America has already seen at least 309 mass shootings

This averages out to more than 11 such attacks a week.

.....and they are horrible when they happen

Apparently not horrible enough for some people.

.......but when a criminal attacks you in your home or on the street...or the government begins to round up innocent people.....guns in the hands of good people save lives...more lives than are taken by mass public shooters.

If you are willing to sacrifice a couple dozen children every year so your can continue to own guns then by all means this is the way we do it.

Can I ask how many dead kids are TOO MANY for you?

Wrong…..mass public shootings in 2021 as documented by the Mother Jones Mass Public Shooting Data Base is 6…. 2020….2

So far this year….3.


Moron…..within the lifetimes of still living Americans Wuropean socialists murdered 15 million innocent men, women and children….not collateral from war, simply rounded up and murdered in just 6 years…..

The motto is “Never Forget…”. You forgot….

 

[2aguy]

Mass shootings aren't rare in America.

School Shootings by State 2024

13 in 32 years…. The rarest of rare events.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

I'm frankly surprised that you prefer Mother Jones. I bet this is literally the ONLY THING ON EARTH you would ever rely on Mother Jones for.

Anything to protect your guns.

So far this year….3.

Nopers.

Moron…..within the lifetimes of still living Americans Wuropean socialists murdered 15 million innocent men, women and children….not collateral from war, simply rounded up and murdered in just 6 years…..

Like I said: you think there's only two choices: Nazi Germany or Children's DeathCamp. I reject your stupid premise.

The motto is “Never Forget…”. You forgot….

I didn't forget. But then I also find the sight of dozens of dead little kids to be disturbing as well.

May I ask how many dead kids you would have to see before you'd think we need a fix here? If it hits 6 million will it then rank us up there with Nazi Germany so we know there's technically no difference between your two scenarios?

We have the fix…..armed teachers and hardened schools……that will keep these nuts from targeting schools…

Cars kill more than 5,000 kids every single year…….do you want to ban cars?



Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year on average…..according to the centers for disease control…:..how many lives are saved by those Americans with their legal guns?

How many of those people, including children will you let die?

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

We have the fix…..armed teachers and hardened schools

So in order to avoid "Nazi Germany" scenario we have to turn our schools into armed encampments?

Do you realize how UNHINGED AND PSYCHOTIC that sounds????

Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year on average…..according to the centers for disease control…:..how many lives are saved by those Americans with their legal guns?

Are there more people "saved" by guns or just outright killed by guns?

But how often are guns used in self-defense, really?

“It’s pretty rare,” David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, said, despite the fact that gun violence in the U.S. is exceptionally common. There are more guns in the country than people, and nearly 40,000 Americans died because of gun violence in 2019. A majority of those deaths were suicides. From 2007 to 2011, only about 1 percent of people who were crime victims claimed to have used a gun to protect themselves — and the average person had “basically no chance in their lifetime ever to use a gun in self-defense,” Dr. Hemenway told NPR in 2018.

I'll just pick on this one.

The Europeans in the 1920s banned and confiscated guns from their people......in the 1930s the German socialists murdered 15 million men, women and children........do you know how big that number is? That happened in just 6 years........barely 15 years after the countries of Europe took guns away from normal people....

That's backwards. Germany had strict gun control imposed on them after losing World War I. Over the next fifteen-ish years, they saw their gun control policies loosening, not tightening; they were allowing more guns, not taking them away. Then, after the Night of Broken Glass, the Nazi Party took gun ownership rights away from the Jews. They didn't need or use guns to take over Germany, and more guns wouldn't have prevented a thing.

That is deliberately incorrect to the point of being an outright lie.

That is a lie….the socialists relaxed gun ownership for party members and took guns away from Jews and their political enemies the people they then murdered

You guys always use that BS without reading what actually happened

Guns in the hands of private citizens would have prevented the socialists from beating the crap out of their political opposition and kept them from destroying businesses of people who spoke against them as they moved to take power……when your neighbor has the crap kicked out of him as the police stand by and he and you don’t have guns to stop it….it is hard to stop them from taking power.

I can't speak for what others of "You guys" say, but I've read and absorbed a good bit about that point in history. From an objective perspective, rather than one designed to confirm a pre-existing bias, the Nazis did not use gun control as a major tool to take over Germany, or to round up the Jews. They didn't have to.

They also weren't socialists, but I'm guessing you've already ignored that point many times over.

What you don't understand is that when you can be beaten, murdered and have your business destroyed while the police look on and do nothing, then the political party that is willing to do those things will eventually take control...

Guns keep that from happening......

The national socialists were socialists...you asshats have to lie about that because if you can't call them something else, then the truth that the worst mass murders in history after 1917 were all committed by socialists....close to 200 million people murdered by socialists...

No actually they don’t….over 330 million people in the U.S. How many mass public shootings in 2021?

6

How many mass public shootings did we have in the UK in 2021?

We had 2 mass public shootings in 2020

How many mass public shootings did we have in the UK in 2020?

5 in 2019..:

How many mass public shootings did we have in the UK in 2019?

You are an irrational extremist…

You are projecting your own feelings on to others again. The Taliban would be proud of you.

 

[Vagabond63]

You are just guessing and are you allowed to use Uzi machine pistols to shoot at other people in London? Is that an exemption to your gun control laws?

And do you suggest that the people shooting those likely illegal, likely automatic machine pistols were able to legally own them as they shot at people in the street?

Please do tell…..

Merely speculating, as .22cal Uzis are available to be purchased in the UK, therefore creating the possibility it was stolen and if the weapon used was a full auto version, I'd expect a higher bullet count than 8.

Even when gangbangers have gunfights innocent people get caught in the crossfire and killed.

In a country of over 330 million people we had 6 in 2019….2 in 2020

6 people out of over 330 million people

1 people out of 330 million people

Meanwhile, .1 million times a year Americans use their legal guns to stop rapes, robberies, murders, and mass public shootimgs

A woman just this week stopped a mass public shooting in West Virginia…she used her legal, concealed carry pistol to stop a mass public shooter who also had an AR-15 rifle….

You didn’t hear about her bbecauae she killed the attacker

And France has us beat…..they have the worst mass public shooting in record….130 people murdered with fully automatic military rifles….in a country where they are banned…on a continent where they are banned……
