I wish folks would stop with the idea that mass shootings only happen here. Because it opens the door for people like you to call them liars. I don't care about statistics other than 17 more people died last week as a result of a shooting in America. I don't need to know if they ever happen outside these boards or if they never happen anywhere else. A statement such as that allows the other side to change the narrative. Same with those saying there had been 18 school shootings in America this year. Once they were proven to be wrong about that (by having a very wide open of the term school shooting) it was easy for the gun rights folk to dismiss anything else they said.

Agree, but tell that to Obama and the Dems who push that narrative. Plus the MSM who never correct them.

Why do you think this article chose the random years 2009 - 2015?

Seems arbitrary.

You just made the same argument with different things instead of guns or mass shootings. You said the MSM never corrects them. Oops.
