According to a 2013 Pew Research study, 37 percent of households had an adult who owned a gun 24 percent said they owned a gun, and 13 percent said someone else in their household did.
There are about 319 million people in the United States, so that means there are about 118 milion gun owners in this nation. Mother Jones reports there have been 69 mass shootings in the last 30 years. The Washington Post says, A Congressional Research Service report published in 2013 counted 78 incidents over roughly the same period, in which 547 were killed.
That means, out of 118 million gun owners, 78 or .00007 percent of the gun owning population are potential mass murderers (using a 30-year total).
Since Mother Jones published its analysis, five people were killed in a shooting spree in Las Vegas that authorities said was driven by anti-government views. In February, a man named Joseph Jesse Aldridge killed seven people in Texas County, Mo., including several of his relatives, before taking his own life. His motivations remain unclear. So that makes 560 people killed.
Now we can add Dylann Roof to the list. It is awful and tragic. He appears to be a sick human being who should never have been given a gun.
Of course, now the gun control activists are out in force. Any white person who legally owns a gun must be a racist White Supremcist nut bag.

So you’re saying the % of gun owners that take prescription drugs is higher than .0007%?
I mean, the % of gun owners that take prescription drugs and go on killing sprees is higher than .00007%?
How many Americans have O’Dummy’s prized illegals, illegals O’Dummy has already refused to deport, how many Americans have they killed?
BTTT!
I don’t think I have ever seen anything like this.
The media is going insane, sort of like piranha with blood in the water.
Of course this is a tragedy. There have been many in the last few years but this one is being used to push their typical agenda.
Right now they are reporting on the four little girls who were killed in the bombing of a church in Birmingham. They will be using this awful event for years too.
Prescription LSD trips? Doctors are the real drug pushers.
This is the perfect storm for the media. For the past year they’ve been playing the race card with “imperfect” victims and questionable “suspects.” But now, they have the event that perfectly fits their narrative in every way.
They could not have written a better script themselves.
Race baiter Marc Lamont Hill just said that the root cause of shooting and all other shooting of blacks is WHITE SUPREMECY!
What a dope.
