I knew there was "data" out there that would lay waste the claim the NRA made, using DOJ and FBI questionable numbers, that gun ownership and crime reduction were all a bunch of lies.

What mass shooting are they talking about? There hasn’t been one in Virginia since the Virginia Tech nut, has there?

What were numbers like before Obama racially inflamed blacks?

naturally, any ‘killing’ is regrettable

however, in a nation of between 300 and 400 million people,
one shooting per day ... is an amazing, almost miraculously tiny figure

and meanwhile, an armed public is all the stands in the way of our new ‘soft dictatorship’ from ‘transforming’ itself into the hard (IslamoNazi) dictatorship it would really like to impose on all of America

our Founding Fathers (who of course realized that some shootings can and will occur) were GENIUSES when they recognized and provided that “...the right of the Public to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”

that is not only a Divine right of the individual,
it is the very wisest, best-attainable public policy for society at large

It’s a “mass shooting” if they say it is...

Sadly, these shootings will continue until the liberals get our guns.

BINGO!

I heard yesterday that one of the ways they pump the statistics is to include suicides using a gun as “gun violence.” which really jumps the figures. The commentator pointed out the suicide rate in the U.S. is actually much lower than a lot of other countries, but since people here tend to do it using a gun (rather than hanging, jumping off something etc), it makes it look bad.

This VA reporter shooting is very very fishy. If you look at the tape, you won’t find hardly any blood. No splatters no blood on the lady being interviewed and she had a white blouse. Is that possible with a point blank execution? The reporter chick didn’t notice anything until the guy was probably a couple feet next to her and the camera dude was even closer? Then the chick ran away, so where the blood?
Even worse the feds confiscated the BBC film.
This has to be a hoax.
I’ll bet the autopsy will be closed to the public.
This rash in cop killings and sensationalistic gun crimes is likely being run out of the WH. The idea is to start a race war, a war between the police and public, militarize and federalize local police, and then gun registration, gun confiscation.

Purposely mixing of terms. Mass Shootings?

The FBI defines and keeps track of mass murder events, which the define as the killing of 4 or more victims during a single or related event (not serial murder) beside the perp.

The activists and the media are purposely conflating the two.

Almost 6 people a day are killed in vehicle accidents in the United Kingdom each and every day according to statistics. Obviously licensing and current laws are not doing enough to reduce the carnage. Only when we ban vehicles will deaths on the motorways end. Everyone knows somebody affected by this senseless slaughter and all in the name of some convenience that politicians beholden to the automotive industry continue to support.

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?
