Has anyone else noticed that -- all of a sudden -- there are very few mass shootings lately?
In fact, almost none.
It's almost like Obama realized that these events aren't getting the clamor for gun control he wanted.
It's almost like Obama flipped a switch.
Things that make you go "Hmmmmm."
Jeez, are you really that dense? Read the small print on the bottom of the chart, and if you still cannot figure out why there is no data from 2016 on it, you are absolutely hopeless.
It’s impossible to prove a thesis that is designed to be unfalsifiable, because any such thesis is automatically invalid.
They are the reality filter of life. But there are more ways around them.
An agency he can’t talk about you say? Possibly populated by people he can’t name?
Abroad a long time ago you say? Where his facts can’t be verified with local press coverage?
This definitely sounds on the record and upfront.
I believe we are simply talking past each other if it continues like this.
I note that you are posting at the same time as SleepySimon. To me, it is becoming clear you are alter-egos posting from some government agency using the software the government requested, that manages multiple online personalities for use in propaganda measures.
You government stooge you.
Take a look for his name on the thread I reference above, in the comments. It’s in the first few. I viewed his comments as credible.
A government propaganda hack like you won’t, of course.
You government stooge you.
Laz and all:
I think a few things are in play here.
First, I don’t think that overall shootings have gone down at much, but the dramatic ones seem to have subsided a bit. I would credit that to hitting a cultural tipping point. We have enough folks who are packing...or more importantly are perceived to be packing....that the twisted risk/rewards analysis that mass shooters go through has shifted. These twisted asshats are looking for drama and big numbers and the number of folks perceived to pack have thrown a spanner in the works.
Second. There has also been something of a cultural shift amongst gun owners as well. The willingness to abide by “stupid” carry restrictions has waned. I would speculate that “no guns” signs, where such are to be found, are being routinely ignored. That also mitigates against mass shootings as gun free zones are likely less gun free than they were 10 years ago.
Third. The media narrative isn’t working. The leftards are figuring that out so there is less reporting of what mass shootings there are.
Fast forward ten years and I think mass shootings in the US will be exceptionally rare. We’ll still have hoodrats shooting each other and the occasional domestic dispute gone really bad.
Spot on brother. I think you nailed it.
The damned government stooges on this thread can ROT, though.
Yep, you are certified hopeless.
You’ve got quite an imagination, that’s about the nicest thing I can say in reply to that.
LOL!!!!!
I called it.
No time for a full-on mass shooting, but a quickly-arranged White House one is a snap!!! :)
You government stooge you.
Ain’t that somethin’.
One of the most widely-travelled conservative forum mentions the lack of mass shootings and WITHIN HOURS there’s some shootin at the White House.
COINCIDENCE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You government stooge you.
You are missing a big part of what you should know because you are stopped dead in your tracks by the words “conspiracy theory”.
Shhhhh. What if Dems decide they “need” a mass shooting after the NRA Trump endorsement?
