Typical BBC propaganda.

They ignore the rest of the world, where mass shootings have also gone up.

They ignore the part of the media in promoting these mass shootings.

I recall John Lott discussing this in his recent piece on the Las Vegas shooting and that this recent incident ranks at about 14th on the list of world’s worst incidents concerning mass shootings. Here is another slightly older piece that effectively counters the BBC’s position:

If the shootings are part of a pattern that raises questions the BBC does not want asked.

Who benefits?

Shouldn’t Waco be at the top of the list for Mass Murders in America?? Or does it not matter that 80 people mostly women and children died?

You're right on target. The Euro-Weenies at BBC should clean up their own house before giving us their failed advice:

Mass Murders In Europe Disprove Gun Control As Rx For Mass Murders In US - Fast Facts

Guns as weapon in mass murders in extremely restrictive gun-controlled Europe:

2015 Paris attack - 89 killed in automatic/semi-automatic* weapon attack at rock concert

2011 Norway attack - 69 killed by automatic/semi-automatic* weapons at Utoya island youth camp

Other weapons in mass murders in Europe:
2016 Nice attack - 87 killed by truck
If Stephen Paddock did not have any guns, could he not have used a truck or a plane (he was a licensed pilot) to inflict a comparable death toll?

*Note: Media reports vary and today's media reports as if they do not know the difference.

Terrorism is war. It does look like the US, Britain, and Germany lead in “lone nut” mass shootings unconnected with war or politics or terrorism.

BBC should worry about their British subject Musiltards and need to be reminded why we kicked England’s a**.
