Why Have There Been More Mass Shootings Under Obama than the Four Previous Presidents Combined?

We live in a world of short-term memories and long-term memory deficiencies. If the 24-hour news cycle was any indication, Americans appear to be bouncing from one catastrophic mass shooting to the next, with hardly any breathing room. Like this is just a regular occurrence America has learned to endure because… guns. It’s the prevalence of firearms in the hands of the people, the anti-gunners say. Calls to limit, rewrite, redefine, or outright dispose of the 2nd Amendment are rampant.

But no one is looking at the data. If they did, they would realize something is really, really, really wrong here.

No, there haven’t always been so many mass shootings. It hasn’t always been this way. Mass shootings have skyrocketed in this country just in the last seven years under President Obama.

I believe that obama and his kind are actively behind the mass killings.
In Mexico the weapons he provided on purpose to the drug cartels to commit mass murder there just so he could remove the 2nd amendment here shows what a psychopaths he is.

Don't forget the "gangwalker" operation, either.

I will go you 1 better-—Obama has set race relations back 50 years or more during his tenure as President-—I am 93 and cannot remember anyone doing worse at creating division in my country

Depends on how you define them. About as many people are being killed as usual if you count all multiple killings. But domestic, gang, drug, and crime killings are excluded from the "mass shooting" statistics in favor of those familiar killings of strangers in public places.

You get more of those after each highly publicized mass shooting. So if you get three or four big mass shootings in a year, you also get more smaller incidents. Publicity plays a major role.

IMHO, the criticism against the military (e.g., Jade Helm) and the police (whether over Michael Brown or excess militarization) from both sides of the spectrum, are examples of the divisiveness BO has sown.

I don’t understand how the police and the military can still follow his orders in good conscious.
