    This graph has to stun the Obama supporters. It did not stun me since I saw the events happen via the news. It shocks me to see Trump attacked. Even a young girl with a potty mouth harped in so the Press adores her. They will take any unfair action to drag Trump down. So will it work?

    I think you need to take a deep, relaxing breath...every hour or so.

    More often. Possibly in conjunction with medication.

    Why would it stun Obama supporters? It just says that in one and a half years, 101 people have died in mass shooting with Trump as President, while 90 people died in mass shootings while Obama was President over 8 years.

    I do not understand how this can be related to a single president, be it Trump, Obama or someone before them?
    Mass shootings is something that has been a problem in US long before today. I'm amazed how everything can be so quickly politicized in US. Seems to me that libs are taking the opportunity to blame everything on Trump.

    So true.

    The guy posted a list that showed people being killed at a rate (under Trump) that is almost 10 TIMES that of Obama.

    The person that posted the list comes across as egregiously misinformed.

    If the OP's intention was to shade Obama, then the OP is an EPIC FAIL.

    The writer of the OP not only struggles in basic chemistry, but now appears to struggle with basic arithmetic. But anyway, the US problem is violent Americans exasperated by divided political hatred which will not change with whoever is president - it's time for a real centre party. There seems to be some glamour associated with guns. Perhaps instead of spending so much money fighting the Islamic boogie man or continually threatening a country 8000 miles away, spend the money on repairing the broken internal problems

    The poster of the OP is a confused ardent Trump supporter.

    The native people did not have any concept of citizenship all they knew is that members of their tribe had been murdered by the foreign invaders of their tribal lands.

    The Civil War?

    It isn't Trump's fault. It's the fault of the shooter. He is very ill. It's a terrible tragedy. Florida Sheriffs department got over 20 calls about the kid. I don't know why they didn't follow up. Did they need some kind of evidence to knock on his door or to talk with him in public? I don't know. Kids at school knew he was ill. They knew things he'd said that were way off. The ball was dropped by many.

    They also din't have the concept that committing murder is wrong, rape is wrong or the concept of private property.

    The name Cruz sounds like Hispanic. I've been to Pompano Beach and surrounding areas and the population is heavily Cuban. If you wish to perpetuate racism you need to reassess your chart.

    Oh they don't matter. And really now, neither do our children, that was decided long ago. Thoughts and prayers.

    You know full well the disparity exists, is alive and well, and has always been a foundational aspect of american society.

    Mass murder is still mass murder and it happened on American soil.

    So were all over nations on the planet going back to Neanderthals. That point aside, is there anything positive you've ever said about the United States or is it all negative? If you live in the United States, why are you still here? If not, well it's well known that many foreigners hate the US for all kinds of falsified reasons.

    America has a long way to go before catching up to Russia, Germany, China, Cambodia and a dozen other countries.

    Communist regimes have murdered 100 million of it's own citizens in the name of socialism just in the past 100 years.

    I don't care for the wording of the title, I agree, guns don't kill people, still, the statistics are what the are.

    Guns killed more Americans in the past 50 years than every US war ever

    So let's say;

    More Americans killed with guns in America in the past 50 years than every US war ever

    https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/l...illed-guns-1968-all-u-s-wars-combined-n807156

    Since 1968, "more Americans have died from gunfire than died in … all the wars of this country's history." (True) We tallied about 1.4 million firearm deaths compared with 1.2 million in war. The number of gunfire deaths includes suicides.

    It has been the same the world over for as long has man has been on earth. The tribe over there has better hunting and/or better grazing, and/or water, so let's go and attack them and take it from them. Now we call it war and now it's for land, oil and also now it's for water, so it was war, not murder, although war is murder. Not sure about one tribe raping the men/women of another tribe and to the native people the concept of owning the land was no different from someone owning the sky, ridiculous. It was the white invaders who started saying "This land is mine" and putting up fences.

    Well, if that's who you want to compare your "exceptional" society to, .... links to the studies might help.

    Hey looka us, we're marginally better than Russia, Germany, China, Cambodia when it comes to slaughter. I'm not at all convinced all of those other societies were founded upon genocide though. So if you could clear that up with studies and data, might go somewhere with your pontifications.
