What liberal media won't tell you: School shooting deaths down, not up, across America
Fox News ^ | June 20, 2014 | John R. Lott Jr.

Is there an epidemic of school shootings? Parents are understandably fearful, but their fear is unjustified. Schools are relatively safe places, and they have gotten much safer.

While even one death is too many, the number of children killed in school shootings has declined over the last couple of decades. The drop is even larger than the overall decline in the murder rate.

The liberal media will tell you that the United States has one of the highest gun crime rates in the world, but will not tell you that if you exclude the strict gun control cities of Chicago, New York and Washington DC, the United States has one of the lowest gun crime rates in the world.

But there is hope for Chicago, New York and DC. After the Supreme Court struck down the gun control laws in Chicago and DC, murder rates started to plummet.

If those cities would stop trying to enact new gun control laws, eventually their crime rates would drop all the way down to the level of cities in states without gun control laws.

Then, if cause equals causation, the current laws have resulted in a positive and hopeful trend.

The anti gun mediots never tell about the serial killers being mentally ill, on heavy drugs and often with an Aspergers Syndrome diagnosis long before they decided to kill someone.

Often the serial killers are spoiled brats or adults with Affluenza Aspergers Syndrome. Their parents are wealthy enough to hide the danger of their spawn.

For example, the recent UC Santa Barbara killings, The killer had been diagnosed with Aspergers according to ABC news (http://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-uc-santa-barbara-shooting-identified-family/story?id=23853918).

The anti gun mediots also left out an important fact about Rodgers and the 3 room mates he slaughtered with a hammer and a knife, not with a gun. They were living in a halfway house apartment for the mentally undeveloped. The anti gun mediots never got into the fact that Rodgers was living in a group home setting, set up for developmentally delayed.

Remember Rodgers did not use an evil gun to kill his “three roommates” . He used a hammer and a knife. Yet many of the original lies posing as journalism failed to mention that the room mates were not killed by a gun, and they are still quoted.

Sure they were his “roommates” but not in the way people are thinking of roommates.
The 22-year-mentally ill killer was living with them at the Independent Living Institute in Santa Barbara, according to CBS. According to the site, it “serves handicapped, developmentally delayed, and under-educated individuals in the areas of independent living, academics and vocational skills.” http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/05/25/elliot-rodger-roommates-names-police-identify/

Didn’t the Connecticut school killer also have Aspergers? .

Adam Lanza, the Newtown killer, also had Aspergers Syndrome. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9747682/Connecticut-school-shooting-troubled-life-of-Adam-Lanza-a-fiercely-intelligent-killer.html

Below is the link to the Google search re a link with Asperger Syndrome and mass killers.

There has never been a right-wing assassination attempt on a president or a member of Congress.

Thanks, I have been posting something along the same line of history. Your last paragraph will be added: "There has never been a right-wing assassination attempt on a president or a member of Congress."

Why Democrats aka Liberals should not be allowed to have guns.

In 1865 a Democrat shot named John Wilkes Booth shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, so the Democrat Vice president would become president.

In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President.

In 1963 a radical left wing communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

On June 5, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan, a psycho islamo killer shot and assassinated Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy. The shooting of Robert Kennedy took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968.

In 1975 a two wing radical Democrats fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States in separate acts of mental illness.

In 1981 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.

In 1984 James Huberty a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.

In 1986 Patrick Sherril a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In March 1991, a lefty psycho, John Hinckley, now 58, fired a hail of bullets at the late president in March 1981, in Washington, seriously wounding him. Three others were badly hurt including press secretary James Brady, now 73.

In 1991 George Hennard a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 23 people in a Lubys cafeteria.

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999 Larry Asbrook a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.

In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech .

On February 12, 2010, Amy Bishop a left wing psycho professor went postal with her fellow professors. When she had finished, six people had been shot, three of them fatally. Bishop had killed her brother with a shotgun over 20 years ago and the liberal police chief in her home town dismissed the case. Amy is still in prison and loves Obama.

March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security. A right-wing extremist, media asked? (A registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther.)

In 2011 a mentally ill, registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The pot smoking Loughner killed 6 and wounded 18 in another liberal shooting tragedy.

In 2011 another mentally ill and registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a Colorado movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

“On September 16, 2013, Aaron Alexis, another pyscho Democrat killer, slaughtered 12 innocents at the DC US Navy Yard. Weeks before his slaughter of innocents at the Navy Yard, Alexis had complained his brain had been targeted by low-frequency waves.”

12/14/2013 Karl Pierson entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Co. armed with a shotgun with intent to kill one of his teachers. He shot Claire Davis, a senior, @Arapahoe High in the head. Yes, Pierson is/was another mentally ill liberal punk.

April 2014 Mohammed Whitaker arraigned on 18 felony charges in series of highway shootings in Kansas. Mohammed appears to be another SOB, aka Son Of Obama..

We could go on, but you get the point, even if the media and the anti gun pyschos in Congress do not.

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats, AKA, the mentally ill having guns or being around them.

No NRA members, No Tea Party members, or No Republican conservatives are/were involved.

Political correctness and leftist policies are to blame in these mass shootings:

If Seung-Hui Cho had been institutionalized for mental illness, 32 people would still be alive at Virginia Tech.

If Jared Loughner had been institutionalized, 6 would be alive in Tucson.

If James Holmes had been institutionalized, 12 lives spared in Aurora, CO.

If Adam Lanza had been institutionalized, 26 would still live in Newtown, CT.

If Nidal Hasan had been properly reported, investigated, and discharged from the Army, and institutionalized, 13 would not have died at Ft. Hood.

There has never been a right-wing assassination attempt on a president or a member of Congress.

If we really want to improve safety, keep criminals in jail, terrorists out of the U.S., and people who are mentally ill/deranged in institutions.

Again, It should be illegal for any Democrats/liberal to own guns or be around them.

I think the line “There has never been a right-wing assassination attempt on a president or a member of Congress.” came from Ann Coulter.

Anyway, that’s a good list and comment posting you have.
