CDZ Why ban guns when mass shootings are rare and kill so few people compared to bees and wasps....?

[2aguy]

Here we have a list up to 2017 for the number of mass public shootings......as you will see, except for 2017 there are fewer than 8 a year....and over 35 years...yes....35 years, they have caused the death of 795 people....while wasps and bees kill more people every single year than all rifles..........and knives are used to murder over 1,600 people every single year...

So why ban something that kills so few people while they are used to stop violent crime 1,500,000 times a year....?

These are the facts, that is the truth, why do anti gunners continue to ignore reality?

Afraid of Snakes? Wasps and Dogs Are Deadlier

Of the 1,610 people killed in encounters with animals between 2008 and 2015,

478 were killed by hornets, wasps and bees,

and 272 by dogs, according to a study published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine. Snakes, spiders and scorpions were responsible for 99 deaths over the eight years.

Eight mass shootings a year...more than anywhere in the world

Pay no attention...we need to worry about bees

Nope...not when you take Europe as a whole...rather than as isolated countries...and notice......only one year had 7, and 2017 was the most and rarest year......

Again...795 people murdered over 35 years...

Knives are used to murder over 1,600 people every single year.....

If you took the world and added them together you'd have more and the longer you stew prunes the more they taste like rhubarb...

Nope.....and they still kill more people than AR-15s........or all the mass public shooters over 35 years......every single year.
