The New York Times editorial board claims “at least 700 mass shootings” occurred over the least two years and 96 people are killed by firearms every day.

The column was written to correspond with the second anniversary of the June 12, 2016, shooting at the gun-free Orlando Pulse nightclub. The gunman in that attack had a “statewide firearms license” enabling him to serve as an armed security guard and he passed a background check for the handgun and rifle he carried on the night of his attack.

So it covered the threat of Islamonazi terrorism inside the United States? The bisexual Pulse shooter was a butthurt Obama voter who was angry that Obama was bombing muslims with drone attacks.

The talking point is that white guys are the killers in mass shooting events. Gang bangers, narcoterrorists, and Islamic jihadists don’t advance that anti-white narrative.

“Mass shooting” definition by liberals is any shooting of two or more people in 24 hours in a given area.

Number of shooters is not germane; and this is an old story posted some months back

Those “mass shootings” can only be stopped by taking all of the stolen weapons away from ethnic gang bangers in places like New York City and making sure that they never get weapons again.

That number includes suicides, gang wars, police shootings etc.

Take out the suicides and the number drops significantly.

Remove the top four big cities and we become safer than Japan. (kinda made up the Japan part but it’s close when you remove four top cities. I can play Fake News too)

And 70,000 killed by firearms in that same two-year period

If you count suicides, about 45,000 - which they do to pump up the numbers - then this number is not too far off. The Democrat run kingdom of Chicago alone probably accounts for most of the rest :-)

Oh, I was pretty sure they called that “medical misadventure”. Wordsmiths right?

“The New York Times editorial board claims “at least 700 mass shootings” occurred over the least two years and 96 people are killed by firearms every day.”

Throughout the Western world, right?

Otherwise, meadow muffins.

About 695 of them were gang-on-gang drive-bys where they sprayed bullets at everyone in the crowd.
Yikes! A quad. I've seen triples but this is the first quad I've seen..
We get it, BoT, you don’t have to spray posts at everyone in the crowd to illustrate it!

:-)

So just about one mass shooting per day for two years — how could I miss all those headlines? And 70,000 killed by firearms in that same two-year period.

At this rate, there won't be anyone left to save with gun control legislation.
