A recent study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that mass shootings happen more frequently in European countries.
Obama recently said, “We as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.â€
He couldn’t be further from the truth.
When you account for the population size of America compared to the countries Obama compares us, his statement falls apart.
The study defined mass public shootings as four or more people killed, and not in the course of committing another crime, and not involving struggles over sovereignty. Here are the results:

The truth does not matter to him or them - it’s all about the optics and it should not surprise anyone that most Americans probably believe this too. This is the power of an agenda driven media and it’s terribly effective consciously and unconsciously.
Your chocolate ration will be reduced until you provide better and more informed answers.
Excuse the feckless fool on he hill, after all, he is just a fool.
Obonzo lied when he told the Frenchies that America is the only country where these mass shootings occur. He needs to see a shrink.
He is past that point. He needs to be committed as mentally ill.
I would add this comment which I think could be proven....if you took the thirty US states which were mostly rural in nature against the twenty states which which were highly urbanized, there would be a big difference between the two in gun usage and mass shootings.
I think alot of this relates to drug usage (legal and illegal type). You might pull a gun on some guy breaking into a house and have to use the gun....but if you drug-tested the idiot who broke in and why he was aggressive in nature...he’s high on something. It’s the same way when you have some 16-year-old kid in Philly try to rob a corner grocery and he gets shot by the cop...the kid is probably high on something as well.
I don’t know if you’re still around, but here’s a ping for ya.
I agree that drug use contributes to violent crime, but illegal drug use by rural kids is almost comparable to that of urban kids. Adults tend to use illegal drugs about equally in both rural and urban areas.
I wonder what percentage of those are by Muslims, in the various countries cited?
Wrong as usual, Obunghole.
There were also the couple of World Wars they had too.
Europeans are bloodthirsty.

That might be true, but whether drug addled or driven by fanaticism, folks might be more constrained in areas where there are more guns to turn them back.

Maybe a lobotomy. Although there would have to be enough brain matter to lobotomize.
