The New York Times editorial board claims “at least 700 mass shootings” occurred over the least two years and 96 people are killed by firearms every day.

The column was written to correspond with the second anniversary of the June 12, 2016, shooting at the gun-free Orlando Pulse nightclub. The gunman in that attack had a “statewide firearms license” enabling him to serve as an armed security guard and he passed a background check for the handgun and rifle he carried on the night of his attack. Moreover, he passed a waiting a period for the handgun.

Hokey pokey. It's worse than we thougth. The nyt lies that is. Bend the facts to suit your goals. Guess they've finally lost their credibility with me. LOLOLOL!

[FoxInSocks]

So just about one mass shooting per day for two years — how could I miss all those headlines? And 70,000 killed by firearms in that same two-year period.

Right. I believe.

Moreover, he passed a waiting a period for the handgun.

Moreover, he was a Muslim.

Fixed.

Heck, just Chicago alone is responsible for them and liberals in the media, including the NY Times avoids that story like the plague.

[umgud]

And guns saved lives 7,000 times in the same period. I read this on the internet.

[rktman]

Then it must be true. Just like Sarah Sander leaving her spokesperson job. Nobody told her. ;-)

[Mears]

I guess I’ve been in a coma because I don’t remember about 690 of them.

Once upon a time in America stories written to excite, exploit, sensationalize, etc. were called “Yellow Journalism”.

Today it’s called fake news.

Mostly anymore it’s actually propaganda.

If you factor in accidents and suicides you may come close to hitting that number.

Once upon a time in America stories written to...

Around 1844, the first long distance news was telegraphed - probably something like Shirley Somethingorother being hit and injured by a wayward horse and buggy. The news has been all down hill since then.

Hey, NYT! Did you report all of these? If not, why not? They aren't all important to you, right? They don't fit your ideal shooting format, right?

"All the news that's fit to print." That's a lie, for starters.

About 695 of them were gang-on-gang drive-bys where they sprayed bullets at everyone in the crowd.

Leftist/communist countries, in the last 100 years, have killed their own citizens who were declared enemies of the state. They were usually scientists, farmers, business owners and others not dependent on the state. The numbers are probably upward of 150 million because deaths in gulag work camps were not included. So having guns to defend against this is now bad?

[2CAVTrooper]

More people die every day in car accidents than are killed by guns.

More people die each day in slips/falls than are killed by guns.
