The facts shoot holes in Obama's claim that US is only host to mass killings
Fox News.com ^ | December 3, 2015 | John R. Lott

On Tuesday, President Obama stunned Americans and French alike with his false claims about gun violence in America. "I say this every time we've got one of these mass shootings. This just doesn't happen in other countries," claimed Obama. It is a claim that he has continually repeated over the years.

Talk about being self-absorbed.

The French have witnessed three mass public shootings this year. January saw two attacks, one on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and another on a Paris supermarket.

In the November attacks, 129 people were killed and 352 were injured. In just 2015, France suffered more casualties killings and injuries from mass public shootings than the U.S. has suffered during Obama's entire presidency (508 to 424). This number includes the San Bernandino massacre on Wednesday.

Italy is the only country in the world where you can buy the type of food known as “pizza”.

Maybe he is actually a cyborg, and simply replaces his foot after each shot.

killing is killing, whether 18 single events in Chicago or 1 14 dead event. We need to drop the emotion and look at statistics.
First compare killing rate of equal size populations.
Let’s compare each of the 435 congressional districts with each other. Then let’s compare each of them with areas of similar population in the developed world. Then let’s compare each of them with areas of the emerging world and of the not-so-emerging world.

Does it really matter if the motive is hate, greed, jealousy or whatever?

Guess he never heard of Norway, Scotland, or Tasmania Australia.

Do Pakistani church-attacks count?

Does Nigeria count?

Facts have NEVER got in Obama’s way.

I get so tired of hearing conservative commentators say: “Obama just doesn’t get it” or “Obama doesn’t know” or the fact that Obama’s stupidity is behind his decisions.

No, Obama knows, Obama gets it, and he is smart enough to run circles around a gutless, stupid, traitorous, cowardly Republican Congress. If he were stupid, he would at least make a decision on occasion that actually helped the United States. The fact that he NEVER has means he is taking pains to avoid that kind of decision.

And the biggest difference between the two?

Biden loves this country - and our troops.

Push come to shove, if we lose this election - I'd prefer Biden over the other two RATS, both of whom would complete the destitution -

If you remove the cities with strict gun control from the statistics then the U.S. would have one of the lowest gun violence rates in the world.

I've finally concluded that nearly 100% of Americans with an IQ over 70 know full well that Barack Obama is a moron. Watch him give speak in public without a teleprompter, and its obvious that he isn't even as bright as a retarded baboon.

The only differences among Americans is that some of us aren't afraid to say it, while many simply cannot bring themselves to admit this.

We need to develop a meaningful presentation of the facts. Too often we compare apples and oranges and convince nobody.

He doesn’t count mass shootings by Muslims. He didn’t know that one of his brother and sisters did this shooting when he went out and shot his mouth off.
