If You Look at This Chart of Top 10 Nations in the World for Mass Shootings – One Thing Jumps Out. According to this article Obama is busted again for saying of mass shootings “this doesn’t happen in other advanced countries” and “it doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.” The U.S.’ is behind the “advanced” countries of Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Israel, and Switzerland, who also have strict gun control laws.

I hate to be the party-pooper on this one, because the graph is kind of wrong, in both the information is presented and the way it is sorted. It highlights the impact of single, one-off crimes within a country. More importantly, it would be better to say countries with only one "mass-shooting" should be dismissed because one crime is statistically insignificant. It would be akin to saying that a small city has a theft problem when one night someone stole $100,000 worth of marshmallow peeps; it would cause an spike in the data that would be uncharacteristic for the area and present the impression of a crime wave. That the crime occurred in a country with restrictive gun laws is a function that need not derive validity from this chart.
Next, the data should be sorted to reflect column three "Fatal rampage incidents per 1,000,000 in population," because this give a better impression of the statistical likelihood of something like this happening within a population mass.
But instead of saying "shooting," the chart should be expanded to reflect "mass killings," to include bombs, knives, and other means of terror. It is well known that China frequently has "issues with people not being civil towards each other," but commonly the weapon of choice is a hand-held weapon, such as a knife or cleaver.
I noticed that all the countries with worse mass shooting numbers, with the exception of Israel who is in a unique situation, are socialist countries with very restrictive gun laws.
The liberal/socialist mantra though is tell a lie, keep telling it, then tell it some more and eventually the populace will believe it. Which as happened to the 52% of the sheeple who voted for the Obummer. They have listened to the lies, they have drank the Kool-Aid, and they believe everything they hear from their Anointed One.
What does anyone expect from quagmire and the left. They lie with each and every breath. They are all about control and what better way to control the populace than to disarm it. Facts be damned. For the smartest man in the room he is truly a lying dumb stack of shit. Nothing but a race baiting community organizing pimp.
When someone has a weapon and is intent on killing with it, you either stand and fight or cower in the corner and prepare to die. There is nothing in between.
I wonder if he's that stupid. It seems he orchestrates the reaction in order to achieve his agenda.
What he never seems to get, is that these people who commit these crimes, are already breaking the gun laws on the books. Criminals don't obey the laws, or they wouldn't be criminals. Creating more restrictive gun laws won't stop the killings, they will only make it easier for criminals to do their dastardly deeds.
Obama doesn't seem to care about that, just taking away the legally owned guns, because that is the only thing keeping him from total control of the country.
That has always been my issue. You can write laws all day long, but onlu law abiding people will make any effort to obey. Criminals always have guns, and historically, i have not seen any decrease in the use of guns in the commission of crime after any law went into effect. Put some of that money and energy into.better mental health provision and you might see a decrease.
"Obama doesn’t seem to care about that, just taking away the legally owned guns, because that is the only thing keeping him from total control of the country."
Which is why I say he isn't stupid at all. The Obummer is a true Marxist and he KNOWS the only way to control the country is to disarm the citizens. The liberal/socialists have been slowly chipping away at our gun rights for years because they know it too.
