One mass shooting a day in the US

I'm surprised there aren't far more than one per day considering how emotionally overwrought right wing Americans are.

 

The NY Times the OP's article is not a source now?

 

Hogwash not even gun control mother jones makes this claim.

 

I think that the toxic environment he has created in the US IS a provable fact. Don't you? What does he expect when he favors one group over another and calls Americans names?

 

More people died Under gop with terrorist attacks

Explain?

 

Do you have some statistics about gunmen attacks of US ? I ve read that daily 60 persons dies in US because of armed attacks. Is this true ?

 

If you count suicides as "armed attacks" sure.

 

Why are you writing about mass killings (3 or more dead, used to be 4) when this thread is about mass shootings (4 or more victims)?

 

We have had 14 years to improve after being caught off guard, which after 9/11, never happened again on Bush's watch, can you say that about Obama? The truth is no, but you will undoubtedly try

 

I am quoting the OP's article to show two posters how misleading their claims are. If you cant follow along that is not on me.

 

And gang violence

 

"...the number of such shootings has roughly held steady..." Well that's ok then.

 

Not saying its "ok" however it debunks them being on the rise..

Facts really hurt the Progressive cause its why they rarely use them.

 

In the same place as you were when you elected Bush twice?

 

No, it's you that is wrong: 1776 victims divided by 365 (let's use a full year) = 4.86 victims per day.

 

Where was last Sundays mass shooting?

 

Included in the figures if you're referring to New Orleans

 

I presume the actual source for this are the reddit users who maintain a database.

 

Yet 127 people die from drug use a day and that just isn't a problem. The government is doing nothing, even incrementally, to keep Americans safe from these mass deaths from drugs.[/QUOTE]

 

Not the governments job.

 

Where are you pulling 1776 out of?

 

And many people here will happily pay more taxes to help these drug addicts.

From the OP "a total of 462 people have died and 1,314 have been wounded in such attacks this year" = 1776 victims

 

I bet if gangbangers were attacked and forced to give up guns there would be a ton of shootings that wouldn't happen.

But the left is more worried about the law abiding American citizen owning a gun, and speak nothing of gang violence other than trying to blame it on white people.

 

Well for one that 462 is from unconfirmed sources/reports. Then you went from deaths to victims... Anything to play with numbers eh?

Its from those same sources that we get

"More than one a day.

That is how often, on average, shootings that left four or more people wounded or dead occurred in the United States this year, according to compilations of episodes derived from news reports."

Which is so blatantly false .......

 

The toxic environment was created as soon as he was elected and the republicans number one priority became to make Obama a one term president instead of considering what was best for the country.

Also, awww did he call you names, sweetheart? You sound think skinned like the college liberals you cons are always crying about.
