We are a huge ass country. 5% of the population, 31% of the public mass shootings worldwide between 1966 and 2012. That's from the study done by Lankford, and was really raked over the coals. Apparently they only got information from websites that were in English, and underesestimated the number of international incidents by a ridiculous degree (like, 1900 as opposed to 250). It's all bullshit anyway though because they weren't counting gang related violence or incidents that all the victims were family members. Obviously mass shootings are a big problem, I'm just pointing out that that particular study is pig shit. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:911278551] in Why are th...
