‘maybe mass shootings but not mass killings’
A mass shooting is where one misses a lot and a mass killing is where one doesn’t?

So in China all the attacks on children with cars and knives are just an aberration, Mr Rogers?

“So in China all the attacks on children with cars and knives are just an aberration, Mr Rogers?”
False equivalency. How many instances have there been anywhere of one person stabbing 26 people to death in a single public rampage before being stopped?

Big tobacco funded the GOP. The NRA funds the GOP. All this " we care about the victims and ending the carnage" is crap, it’s all about politics. The left first demonizes than isolates than destroys.
All in the name of caring more than anyone else.

Yes, and Rush Limbaugh says that all mass killers are liberals. It follows from logic.

According to the Federal Government there were about 9,000 fireams homicides, excluding self defense, in 2009. So called “assault weapons” were involved with about 3%, or 270 homicides.

There are between 300 and 400 million firearms in about 60 million homes in the USA. There were about 9,000 firearms homicides in 2009. So, less than 1 in every 300,000 firearms is involved in a homicide.

There are about 140 million automobiles in the US. About 30,000 people die because of automobile crashes each year. To save lives the automobile should be outlawed.

As a character in a book once said; “Give me enough figures, and enough numbers, and I can PROVE to you that Rhode Island is Bigger then Texas!”
It’s all in how you spin the figures…
