One Graph.

A psychologist was just on Fux News saying "We've seen an increase in these types of mass shootings over the last decade, which coincides perfectly with...(wait for it)...the rise of social media."

Brilliant, Dr. Freud. So, Facebook is to blame for the rise of mass shootings.

I'll tell you something else that the increase in mass shootings correlates with....THE EXPIRATION OF THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IN 2004.

Take a look at this graph. The number of mass shootings went up after the ban expired in 2004, and began to spike in 2015. The 2016 and 2017 numbers will be even worse.

I watch Fox so that you don't have to. But yes, I've sustained a LOT of brain damage because of it. TrollBuster9090 Oct 2017 #2

Why the hell are you watching Fox News! It will melt your brain!

Seriously, you don't really expect Fox to deal with facts, do you? (wink)

There is something seriously wrong with a huge segment of the American populace.

It's a dirty job, but SOMEBODY has to do it, now that Jon Stewart is gone. Samantha Bee and the others just don't quite do it for me.
