And that "report" has already been shown to be a fabrication, by multiple media outlets, including CNN, I.E.:

How many school shooting incidents has the U.S. had since Sandy Hook? PolitiFact Oregon
A closer look: How many school shootings since Newtown?
BTW I wonder if the author is as concerned by the 210,000+ who die, each year, as a result of medical malpractice?:
How Many Die from Medical Mistakes in U.S. Hospitals? (Scientific American)
(The number of people who die from medical malpractice each year dwarfs the number of people who are murdered with a firearm: FBI Uniform Crime Reports: Murder Victims by Weapon, 2008–2012)
The answer is more than two hundred years old.
Want the First? Keep the Second!
I’ll note that these mass shootings didn’t really begin to happen until the 1970s. Rates of gun ownership were higher in the past than what they are today. Explanation?
- We’ve had a population explosion. Families are moved all across the country, and social supports are limited.
- We’ve pretty much given up on marriage. Note that most of these shooters come from divorced parents.
- We’re giving up on religion and have taken on a me-first, narcissistic, phony culture of moral relativism.
- We’re obscessed with sex. Violence is far more prominent than it ever was.
- The concept of honour is completely dead.
- We spend hours of time isolated from one another, typing on keyboards or playing mindless video games with little human interaction.
And the list goes on....All this us what you get with a dying culture.
Since when are our God-given unalienable rights to life and freedom subject to man's determination of "deserved"?
The 2nd Amendment is not a grant of a right by the Constitution or the government. It is a sampling of inherent rights already in existence. Hence, the wording, "the right...shall not be infringed."
It dies when we let it!
No, they cannot disguise. They (the obama crowd and lame-stream) can only tell each of U.S. lies.
No ... I Will Not Close My Eyes or Ears!
There is no “deserving.” The 2A is God given and enshrined in the Constitution. That is, it acknowledges the pre-existent right that government can neither grant or deny.
These shootings didn’t start in the 1970s. The 1920s were an incredibly violent time that include the single largest mass killing of children in the Bath Michigan School bombing in 1927 when Andrew Keyhoe killed some 47 people mostly children.
Despite the liberal narrative, America is among the most peaceful nations on the planet.
When I was a child going to school every family I knew had guns in the home. Rifles, shotguns and pistols. In the 12 years I attended school there was not one single shooting at ANY SCHOOL in my entire STATE!
Now if this is a gun issue can you explain why that was that no one killed anyone in a school with a gun for the 12 years?
Honestly not aware that any school shooting occurred in the US in that time period. Plenty of guns, plenty of schools. HUM....... Maybe it is not the guns. Maybe it is something else.
...it acknowledges the pre-existent right that government can neither grant or deny
WELL-SAID
If we don’t deserve guns, we don’t deserve any freedom. Which freedom are these homos willing to give up?
+1
Under normal circumstances, the nation would be engaged in a soul-searching debate about guns, based on the most recent shooting incident.
Why?
Why not a debate about the lack of mental health facilities?
Or the glorification of violence by Hollywood?
Or the effect of violent video games on children?
Or the removal of God from our schools decades ago?
Or the ever increasing liberalization of our Government and its every is okay just tolerate it attitude?
Let’s have some real soul searching? For example, do we really like moral relativism? If not, should we try the best moral law man has ever known?
Thank you ... cause you are Real! Sometimes we just can’t convince them of the truth ...
I just checked. Yep. I still have mine, and Leviathan doesn’t.
We’re Everywhere ... and they hate U.S. cause we are!
all your points can be smmed up in one: when you kick God out of the country, school and home, don’t be surprised if you get your wish.
