Mass shootings don’t only occur in the US. It’s just that the Left continues to focus on it, using it as an excuse to grab guns in order to streamline the destruction of this country through imposition of their communist fascistic ideology.

Senator Hanson’s claim that France, Switzerland and Finland have more mass shootings than the US appears to be based on research from the Crime Prevention Research Centre (CPRC). The CPRC states, “our goal is to provide an objective and accurate scientific evaluation of both the costs and benefits of gun ownership as well as policing activities”. A 2015 CPRC report stated the US had a lower frequency of mass public shootings than European countries based on a per capita basis in that country, or the number of mass shootings per one million people in each country. According to CPRC report, the frequency of mass public shootings per million people in the US was 0.078 which placed it 12th in the world on this measure. France had a mass shooting frequency rate of 0.092, placing it 11th. Finland was seventh with a frequency rate of 0.184. Switzerland was fourth with a rate of 0.249. The top ranking nations by this measure were Macedonia, followed by Albania and Serbia.
