Charts: Half the deadliest shootings in U.S. history happened in past six years (Obama's Fault)
Maddow Blog (Seriesly!) ^ | 09/17/2013 | By Laura Conaway

If you consider the deadliest mass shootings in American history -- at this point, shootings with 12 or more fatalities -- you'll find the first one happens in 1949. A deranged lone gunman's "Walk of Death" in Camden, New Jersey, claimed the lives of 13 people.

The next one happened in 1966, when a lone gunman climbed the bell tower at the University of Texas and began shooting. He killed 16 people. The first half of the list of these horrible shootings, as Rachel pointed out on the show last night, took place over half a century. The second half took place over just six years, from 2007 until yesterday.

Looking at this list, every event since Columbine was in a gun-free or gun restricted zone. Not sure what was in Binghamton NY, but the rest were schools, movie theaters, and military bases where guns have been eliminated or restricted.

I try to avoid conspiracy theories, but I do find it strikingly odd that we’ve had a huge upswing in deadly shootings not long after after gun-grabbing radical entered the Oval Office...

It was a class, but wasn't a “real” school...

“event since Columbine was in a gun-free or gun restricted zone”

Almost all of them are in gun free zones.U TX, some post office, both gun free. San Ysidro is in Cali, lets admit that’s a gun free zone. Also wasn’t there some woman who sued after Kileen, TX because she had a permit but couldn’t carry in a restaurant?

I’ll go full tin foil hat on this. Was Alexis part of a black budget program? Was he programmed like a bomb to do this? It might seem ridiculous to ask these questions, but with Dear Leader I don’t put aside anything.

Before BO, I would have told you that you needed a tinfoil cap. Now, I can not disagree.

Suzanna Gratia Hupp, DC, (born September 28, 1959)[1] is a former Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives, who represented traditionally Democratic[citation needed] District 54 (Bell, Burnet, and Lampasas counties) for ten years from 1997-2007. After surviving the Luby’s massacre in 1991, Hupp became a leading advocate of an individual’s right to carry a concealed weapon. She was elected to her first term in 1996, but did not seek a sixth two-year term in 2006. She has also written a book called From Luby’s to the Legislature: One Woman’s Fight Against Gun Control, published by Privateer Publications, San Antonio, Texas.[2][3]

That’s because Obama has stoked tensions to the max here. The latest insane killer was obviously responding to Obama’s racial rhetoric, and the other insane killers (well, those who weren’t responding to Islam) were clearly stirred up and made uneasy by the atmosphere he has created.

The mentally ill are very easily influenced by things around them that most of us might shrug off as mere politics, and I think that’s what we’re seeing here.

Curious at why the number 12, other than that’s where they stopped. What if it had been the 20 worst shootings, how many people would be involved and how recently?

The end will always justify the means for a true radical like Obama. The best way to implement radical change is not by arguing logically against the existing policy, but instead by finding ways to drastically change public perception so that the existing policy is considered morally reprehensible. Wonder of all wonders, ever since Obama took office we’ve had all sorts of little events (events that were rare in the past, one might add) which suddenly seem to call for the solution that Obama has wanted all along.

It seems fishy and I wouldn’t put anything past a textbook sociopath like Obama. Again, I’m not usually given to conspiracy theories. Still, at this point nothing would surprise me.
