The Virginia shootings have rekindled the long-running debate on gun ownership in America with figures showing that there have been 247 mass shooting incidents in the US in 238 days so far this year.

While America’s attention was focused on the horrific murder of two young journalists in Roanoke, Virginia, another mass shooting on the same day saw four people wounded during a home invasion in Minnesota.

The figures for the multiple shootings have been compiled by GunsAreCool, a sarcastically named group which tracks gun violence in the US.

Rekindled debate on guns?

How bout kindling debate on racial and religious hatred by blacks, Muslims, and their white enablers?

How bout all the false rhetoric emanating from Ferguson, and Thugvon and Freddie’s Dead? The politicians?

There’s where the REAL focus should be

Do these limey newspapers ever report anything positive about America?

And will they ever tell the truth about firearm use in America?
