Good Fake News. Do you not understand the difference between most overall and most per capita? 10 Euro countries have a higher mass shootings per capita than the US.
Name another country that has had 18 school shootings in less than two months?
Name any country that has had 18 school shootings in less than two months. Because America hasn't, not in the type of shooting we are discussing via Parkland.
You're actually doing the other side's work for them. You're giving them a way to sidestep the real issue. Instead of talking about America's school shooting problems, now they get to talk about how some anti-gun group are calling every situation of a gun on school property (even at night and on the weekends... even at night on the weekend) and the MSM are part of the problem.

Deaths per million is not even close to an accurate measurement comparing a country like the US which has 320 million vs Norway with 5 million people .
Most of the countries on this list have one giant instance that puts them above the US like Norway and the Oslo and AUF camp attacks .
In comparison 77 deaths in Norway is equal to about 5000 here in the US.
This article is based on assuming people would fall for a statistical fallacy , and many of you did.
No one is going to sit here and say 77 deaths is equal to 400( mass shooting deaths in the US from 2009 to 2015, dates in article )
Plus I have seen within my own country where in 1996 there was stringent gun control then by the so called Conservative Prime Minister then (John Howard). Since then there been no mass shootings in Australia. Even though John Howard was heavily criticised by leftist in this country like for example greatly spending government funds and allowing a huge expansion for Christian schools and leaving state schools finances not much increasing , and even to this day, one thing the leftist agree upon was his gun restriction policy.
We are worst in the civilized world, yes. Now, if Republicans are whining that failed states like Syria have more gun violence, they are *technically* correct, but is THAT the type of standard we should be comparing ourselves against?
It states 15 deaths or more which is an arbitrary number. In fact it is so abitrary that if this was expanded today the U.S would have added 2 or 3 maybe even 4 more mass shootings deaths awhile all of Europe would have added zero. Count mass shootings as either 4 dead or 4 injured and you have actual numbers that means something. You essentially limit the American numbers so much that you find the only place we’re America isn’t comfortably ahead on the list.
And they did nothing but sit on their hands after those babies at Sandy Hook got slaughtered. They did NOTHING and they had a borderline communist gun hater as President at the time. They should shut their pie holes about this subject.
WOW, you would never know mass shootings ever happened anywhere but there if you believe the MSM.
The Daily Wire is an American conservative news and opinion website founded in 2015 by political commentator Ben Shapiro.
The study was done by the Crime Prevention Research Center which was founded by John Lott who wrote the book More Guns, Less Crime. His fellowship at the University of Chicago was funded by the Olin Foundation, which is associated with the Olin Corporation. Olin Corporation is one of the nation's biggest gun makers.

WOW, I never realized that lies meant so much to Trumpees. You never seem to have a problem, ever, when your leader spews out lie after lie after lie..........all lies that can be verified as being bold faced lies. Why the outrage now ?
So, I guess SOME lies are ok, and SOME lies are not ok ? Please tell us why that is.
