And look, we're nearing a milestone!

[IveWornAHundredPants]

1. Yes, but how often does this happen?

Oh, 249 times. I see. Well, let me know when it hits 263, and then we can talk about talking about implementing some kind of minute improvement to the gun laws. 263, you see, is my personal red line in cases of this sort.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

7. 249 times this year so far

The UK has had 5 mass shootings in the last 30 years (two in England, One in scotland, and the rest in Northern Ireland (as part of the Troubles)).

5

5 mass shootings in 30 years

and you scoff at 249 mass shootings so far this year.

[IveWornAHundredPants]

8. The scoffing may be a bit ironic.

The truth is, it's horrifying.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

9. I Agree

n/t

[eggplant]

19. Man, does their aim suck.

ba-dum-pum.

[blkmusclmachine]

2. Must. Look. Forward. Always. Forward.

[IdaBriggs]

3. But only 29 times have 4 or more people been killed!

And that means we can ignore this!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023682882

I mean, its only TWENTY-NINE TIMES -- no biggie.

Worry wart.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Excellent use of the data, my dear Robb.

I am appalled and sickened.

K&R

[KansDem]

5. 154 "Unknowns"

59.4% of these cases involved an unknown shooter...

[Ohio Joe]

6. But... But... Freedoms and shit...

Fuckin gun nuts.

[Electric Monk]

10. That's an awfully long list

[Tx4obama]

11. And also... Check out the surprisingly LONG lists on the links below...

A LONG list of school shootings starting way back in 1760s, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States

and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers_%28school_massacres%29

[CreekDog]

12. Waiting for the alert that complains these 249 events across the country were all local stories

and should not be posted in GD.

[Quantess]

16. First of all, what about it causes you to say an "agenda is being promoted"?

Showing a list of multiple shooting incidents is substantial and neutral information.

Secondly, the per capita rate of gun shooting deaths is very high compared to other first-world countries.

[Robb]

20. I've noticed it's impossible to start a thread

...on this subject without an insane gun troll wandering by.

[Hoyt]

14. Jeebus, that ought to put it in perspective. Good work.

But, gun lovers are selfish and afraid of their fellow citizens. If it happened 10 times a day, most would not care. Plus, more than a few profit from gunz.

Collateral damage ... Nothing is more important than the rights of those heavenly chunks of metal.

... at least that is the impression I get from some here. The slippery slope isn't that gun and ammunition ownership may be limited and monitored ... the slippery slope is that we sit back, placing so little value on human life taken by gun violence, we become more and more desensitized to the senseless loss, as a nation.
