Fact #1: 2 of the last 3 mass shootings where by liberal school teacher’s nutty (neglected?) children.
instead of making it illegal to own a gun, why don’t we make it illegal to kill people!
oh wait...
So, Mr. Journolist is at it again, eh?
Of course, liberals have no explanation why mass murders with guns happen in Gun Control countries in Europe. Or, no explanation why in Gun Control Mexico they have the highest murder rate in the world.
convienent they don’t count terrorist attacks like beslan. wsashingtonPOS.
Prissy Matthews was bawling about gun control on MSNBC. Not one word about the murderer.
Screw the "gunz" and where they got them, I want to know
WHAT EFFIN PRESCRIPTION DRUGZ WERE THEY ON??
Ezra Klein = Commie lib. Nuff said.
Auditing Shooting Rampage Statistics
July 31st, 2012 Submitted by Davi Barker
Firearm prohibitionists love to use tragedy to leverage their agenda. So, it’s important for gun rights advocates to stand their ground and fire back (proverbially) whenever this happens.
Last week I posted a graphic on Facebook claiming the average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 18.25, and the average number of people killed in a mass shooting when stopped by civilians is 2.2. I based it on 10 shootings I found listed on some timeline somewhere. I honestly don’t even remember where. I presented the case studies in a blog post on the Silver Circle blog and I did the math myself.
The graphic was met with great enthusiasm and much skepticism. Leave it to Facebook users to demand an audit on a meme. So, I started over, only much more meticulous this time. I compiled and analyzed 93 shootings, noting my methodology, and I am now prepared to present my findings, complete with links to the data. But here’s a spoiler… It’s not that different.
The average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 14.3 The average number of people killed in a mass shooting when stopped by a civilian is 2.3....
...
While doing this I learned some important vocabulary. A “spree shooting” is when a killer murders in multiple locations with no break between murders. As in the Virginia Tech killer who began shooting in one hall, and then walked across campus and continued shooting in another hall. A “mass shooting” is when a killer murders multiple people, usually in a single location. As in the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people at one military base. A “school shooting” can be either of these as long as one or more locations is a school. As in the Columbine shooting, which is also classified as a spree shooting because they went from room to room. The term “rampage shooting” is used to describe all of these, and does not differentiate between them. So that is the term I’ll be using from here on out.
I selected these lists because they were the most comprehensive of those that I found, and I was seeking as large a data set as possible. I combined them all, including the first 10 from my previous post, and removed all redundant data for a total list of 93 shootings....
Step Four: Final analysis
With 14 incidents stopped by police with a total of 200 dead that’s an average of about 14.3. With 15 incidents stopped by civilians and 35 dead that’s an average of 2.3.
The first point I want to draw your attention to is that roughly half of shooting rampages end in suicide anyway...

This article is all bovine excrement.
I just noticed that everyone of these mass shootings has been done by a SON!!! We don’t need GUN control we need SON control!
The fact that no one seems to point out in all of these mass murders is that the shooters are all lunatics, mentally ill, psychotic, or insane. What ever word you want to use they are crazy.
Why are they out on the streets? Why haven’t they been committed for the safety of the general public? Because of libs who fight not to have them committed.
Has any of you had someone in your family who is mentally ill? I have, and it’s terrible. Praise God he didn’t kill anyone, but try and get help for them... it’s an impossibility. It took the docs 2 yrs to diagnose my relative. He should have been committed. Praise God he never killed anyone, but there are many out there who would and have.
Who’s to blame? Not the guns. Try our legal system. The crazies are running the asylum and they wear black robes.
Fact 13..........the mentally disturbed were released into society and trusted to take thier meds daily.
Fact 14..........these guns were registered to the mother and she knew her son had issues why werent the under major lock and key?
If guns are the problem, how come you NEVER hear of mass homicides on GUN RANGES?!!
