I see the Fox News, NRA and GOP spin/lie machine is hard at work.
For the record... there should not be mass shootings at all.
LOL, the "BLAZE"
ohhh, and by the way, how come "the BLAZE" didnt link to the AP story??? hummm
not a single f------ link!
Just..... out of curiosity....... What does it say about the two of you that you are so militantly against this good news that you seem to have jumped on the defensive about it?
What do you have to gain so much from the INCREASE of mass shootings?
Associated Press Story: Believe It or Not Mass Killings Are Not on the Rise, They Are on the Decline | TheBlaze.com
While the perception in the wake of this year’s mass shootings has been that such acts are on the rise, the Associated Press found that it’s actually the exact opposite when you look at the data on a macro level.
“There is no pattern, there is no increase,” says criminologist James Allen Fox of Boston’s Northeastern University.
He adds that the random mass shootings that get the most media attention are the rarest.
While mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, says.
Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.
ummmm, the "blaze" is misleading perhaps? Why doesnt the blaze link to the AP story so we can verify?
Gee I don't know. Why haven't some of you done a little research on your own?

New York City is also known for its strict gun control laws. Despite local laws, guns are often trafficked into cities from other parts of the United States, particularly the southern states.[99][131] Results from the ATF's Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative indicate that the percentage of imported guns involved in crimes is tied to the stringency of local firearm laws.[100]

Crime declining:
Gun ownership declining as a percentage:
Hand guns are responsible for most gun-related homicides (goes to the argument re: assault weapon ban):
Tried to go to the referenced articles but had a hard time finding them:
The references are:
[99]: Article, "Gun Flows to Criminals Laid to Tiny Fraction of Dealers", Fox Butterfield, 1999, New York Times
[131]: Article, "Guns and Violence", Garen Wintemute, 2000, Cambridge University Press
[100]: "Youth Crime Interdiction Initiative", 1998, ATF
I think all of that data is thrown out the window with the current increase of mass shootings. And yes, there is a current increase in these killings.
Not according to Mr. Fox.
then i suggest that Mr. Fox should look at the current data over the past 4-5 years. Do you agree?

it makes me wonder if it isn't people who are like minded that are the ones committing these damned shootings........knowing they will be even more famous for being the rotten bastard that created the knee jerk reaction that caused the living to lose rights.

You're not losing your silly gun rights. No one is taking them away from you. You can relax. There's needs to be more regulation, but that does not mean your rights are being trampled on.
christ! the paranoia of some people.

Shouldn't be lots of things at all. But humans being human, it ain't a perfect world.
