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. Itâs 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 havenât always been so many mass shootings. It hasnât always been this way. Mass shootings have skyrocketed in this country just in the last seven years under President Obama.

The evisceration of law and order in America, spearheaded by 0blama on down.
You can’t work towards gun confiscation without increased mass killings first.
Very impressive charts. I knew it was bad, but not as bad as that.
See post 4
Nope...it includes what we might call gang killings. The definition came straight from an FBI Official.
The headline itself will become a Trump talking point!
IF anybody brings it to his “peoples” attention. I’d sure as hell use it. Probably not due to the increase in seperation of the races since he’s (the lyin’ king) been (s)elected. I’ve never seen more divisiveness among folks in my 68 years. Well, less the first 4 or 5. :>)
He may think he can.. but he’s not going to get that one accomplished.
I’m not sure I trust stats from Mother Jones.
WHAT!? LOL! Grain of salt required.
Obama = Zero Law and order
âThe Kenyan has successfully divided Americans.â
Bingo!
Since at least 1950, all but two public mass shootings in America have taken place where general citizens are banned from carrying guns. In Europe, there have been no exceptions. Every mass public shooting has occurred in a gun-free zone. And Europe is no stranger to mass shootings. It has been host to three of the six worst K-12 school shootings and by far the worst mass public shooting perpetrated by a single individual.

Shhh it is by design, so he can ge gun control.
Yeah, personal enemies.
I don’t like dumbing down “mass murder” nor “terrorism”. Common crimes incidentally affecting multiples are not those. Nor is any given MM a “terrorist” act.
Because crisis actors vote democrat.
I hate to say it but it wasn’t this bad with Jimmy Carter. Obama’s little toadies in his “media” are pimping for him to be added to Mt. Rushmore. Hopefully they’ll remove the others so they won’t be disgraced by the presence of a spoiled little, snot-nosed brat.
Because 0bama has facilitated them in order to push gun confiscation.
That’s what fast n furious was.
Don’t you think 0bama is willing to kill to get his way?!
I think probably a big catalyst towards dividing people is also the massive increase in social media usage, supposedly a ten fold increase between 2005-2015 according to Pew research. Knowing what so many think or are at least willing to say they think about everything from their dumb breakfast to current events might not actually be too healthy for society. It certainly lets wackjobs find other wackjobs to discuss wackjobbery more easily than in the past.
