The claim that the US has by far the most mass public shootings in the world drives much of the gun-control debate. Many argue that America’s high rate of gun possession explains the high rate of mass shootings.
...
Of the 86 countries where we have identified mass public shootings, the US ranks 56th per capita in its rate of attacks and 61st in mass public shooting murder rate. Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Russia all have at least 45 percent higher rates of murder from mass public shootings than the United States.
When Lankford’s data is revised, the relationship between gun ownership rates and mass public shooters disappears.
How could that be? One possibility is that guns don’t just enable mass shooters; gun owners can also deter and prevent such shootings. Another is that culture — not gun ownership — is a bigger factor in shootings.
The media should be wary of any researchers who fail to let others look at their data. At least on this point, the intellectual base for liberal thunder about mass public shootings is wrong.

Give Joe time, he is working on it. We’ll be number 1 soon.

The Republicans need to run to the Cameras - and tell the American people that Joe Biden’s own son committed a Felony by lying on a Federal Gun Application - and nothing was done!
If they do that, see Chuckie Schumer slow to a crawl on his new legislation he’s forcing a Vote on and telling all the Reporters about.
Educate the American people!

Depends on which statistics you are looking at.
Not sure of this needs, or has been, updated or not, but you can bet the liberty haters are using it. Sort of like a style guide for ‘journalists’ on how to vilify inanimate objects.

“Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Russia all have at least 45 percent higher rates of murder from mass public shootings than the United States.”
Can somebody help me? I’m having trouble remembering the last mass shooting from Norway or Switzerland.
Remember, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
Have they legitimately identified a single mass shooter as a Trump supporter?
How about a Republican?

sorry, some of those links were for Sweden and not Switzerland.
I thought Sweden was the left utopia for all things socialists?
Would our media cover it????? You kNOw the answer.
i want to see some action after this latest tragedy
repeal the gun free zone law
they are nothing but kill zones
Another disturbing question: how many Americans are going to fall for this lie?
We don’t have to be the worst to acknowledge that we see too many (as if some number is acceptable). That being said, most of the suggested “solutions” mainly serve partisan political goals.
How many home-schooled children have turned out to be mass shooters?
How many public-schooled children have turned out to be mass shooters?
Just curious.
Europe is not a peaceful place. They have massive wars at least a couple a times a century.
The democrats are working on it with their corrupt news media.

In the trial of Tim Hale, Biden’s DOJ just produced a large box containing an exhibit.
Prosecutors handed the box to an FBI agent who is testifying. He removed the exhibit to show to the DC jury.
It was a Trump 2020 flag.
Those rare examples you cite are on a par with what happens in Chicago every weekend.
