274 Days, 294 Mass Shootings - Welcome To America

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Last week's community college disaster in Oregon brought the number of mass shootings (4 or more people killed or injured) in America this year to 294. Whether due to easy access to arms, due to overmedication, or whatever other reason, this is a stunning data point, and amounts to more than 1 per day.

It is hardly surprising that even that "paragon of human rights", China, recently came out and mocked Obama for this unprecedented mass shooting death spree.

According to the POTUS pie hole, prescription drugs kill more people every year than car crashes. Guess what? More people die in car crashes than by gun shot. Why arent we having a common sense conversation about LEGALLY PRESCRIBED DRUGS and those evil assault cars?

"Here’s why this matters.  More Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes."

Exactly, Mr. Servo. Mass random shootings are rare events; mass gangsta shootings are commonplace. Mixing them distorts the perception, as was intended. This author, as the old saying goes, uses statistics like a drunk uses a lampost: for support rather than illumination.

You can try exercising your Constitutional Rights.

Doubt it will do you any good when the law has been destroyed by the 'legal' system.

Lawyers don't give a fuck about you. They just want to get paid to play their insane games. Unfortunately real human beings are the pieces they play with.

An interesting thing is that lawyers, who spend their whole working lives reading law books, specialize in various aspects of the 'law' because there are too many laws for them to understand otherwise.

You and I however have to live as if we know all of them, given the 'ignorance of the law is no defence' thing.

The playing field is severely tilted.

"I wonder what the numbers would be for Death by Cop in the USSA?"

Based on the independent tracking done by the WaPo, the current number of fatal police shootings YTD is 758. So 1,000 is a reasonable estimate.

The CDC says all firearm deaths in 2013 were 33,000. Remember that include suicides, self-defence shootings, etc. When you dig into the numbers, it's 21K suicide and 11K homicide. So that means that cops are responsible for nearly 10% of all firearm homicides. (Note that the CDC actally breaks this out separately as "legal intervention" (man, what a euphamism!)

Sandy Hook, Virginia, Charleston, Umpqua Oregon, and Santa Barbara are painfully obvious FAKES. Real people do not smile when they are talking about loved ones murdered the day before. Real people bleed when they get shot. Real people are recordedd by the social security death index. Real events do not always correspond to live shooting drills planned months in advance on the same day and in the same location.  And guess what? When the congress repealed the Smith-Mundt Act in 2013, there was no longer a ban on domestic propaganda! So Obambi can legally stage "mass shooting" hoaxes anywhere in the US until the retards push to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

#3 is only partially true.

 

The Conceal Carry law is state law and invalidated many of Chicago's firearm laws.  There are now people with CCL's carrying in Chicago.

 

On the other side of the coin, people are wierd about guns in Chicago, and I'm talking the better-off neighborhoods.  So in effect, many of those places still are gun-free zones.

 

FWIW, Illinois does practice Castle Domain laws for house AND automobile, so there's that on their side.

There are 300 million guns. Plus all of the uncounted ones.

Elimination or confiscation is impossible.

They have to come up with a new answer.

Like restrictions on ammunition? I am more worried by that. Guns can be made in garages now, but ammunition is more difficult.

That's why it's a very good idea to get the basic reloading equipment (NOT the $350 reloading set-ups), bullet molds and smokeless powder to be able to do simple reloads for your firearms.  A bullet mold, reloading tools and a supply of powder for a 9mm for example (enough to do 1000's of reloads) can be had for less than $150.  Same goes for common rifle and shotgun loads. 

The one area where they may try to effectively curtail the reloaders though is with the primers - so stock up on those while they are freely available.  There are some work-arounds to make homemade primers but they are not easy to produce nor are they as reliable as manufactured primers.

Totally agree . . . . just maybe stopping the widespread, and over, use of SSRI's and other psychotropic drugs, especially with young people, would be a great start.  How many "mass shootings" per year were reported prior to big pharma pushing all of this crap down people's throats???

You'll never get rid of guns anymore than you can get rid of illegal drugs or prostitution or child buggery.

Especially if the population is unwilling to commit to such a plan.

The only choice to stamp out any of it would be for the government to follow the path set out by the Communist chinese government to eradiacate opium.

They killed anyone caught smoking or dealing with the drug.

If they do manage to confiscate all the guns from private owners then only two sets of criminals will have guns, the street criminals and the government.

Fuckin stop it. The gun control debate is stupid. The only thing that would make a difference is confiscation and that won't be happening. Confiscation would have to be on a massive scale. You think people are frustrated and ready for violence now? Try confiscating guns and see how united this divided country becomes. That will start the war for sure, and support will cross color, party lines.

Fuckin try it, I wish they would.

• During the last decade, the number of unintentional firearm-related fatalities involving children 14 years of age and under has decreased by 28 percent and by 74 percent over the last 20 years.

• Unintentional firearm-related fatalities are substantially lower than the number of unintentional fatalities caused by other forms of injury. • Firearms are involved in less than 1.5 percent of unintentional fatalities among children 14 years of age and under, and are among the least likely causes of unintentional fatality.

• In the past 10 years, firearm-related fatalities in the home have dropped by 33 percent, and by 50 percent in the last 20 years.

• Firearms are involved in fewer than 1 percent (0.5 percent) of all unintentional fatalities in the United States.

Gun control/confiscation is EXACTLY what happened in Russia at the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution - which was predominately organized and implemented by Jews - look how that turned out for about 50 MILLION Russian citizens (most of whom just happened to be Orthodox Christians, but I'm sure that was just a coincidence) . . . .

It's not "no matter what the issue" regardless of what you want to believe.  It just so happens that Jewish interests, including their complicit media, ARE behind at lot of hot button topics in the USA, including; abortion, pornography, illegal immigration, banking fraud and gun control, just to name a few. 

You are in a total state of denial if you refuse to accept the fact that predominately the people at key positions behind all of those issues are of Jewish descent.  The problem is that no-one will discuss this for fear of being labeled an "anti-Semite". 

What would be the reaction of people in the USA if the people behind those issues were 90%+ Chinese??  At least the Chinese comprise about 20% of the world's population while the Tribe descendants comprise only about .2% of the global population - something's very wrong with the inordinate amount of power and control the Jews wield worldwide when compared to their total population . . . . .
