It's select countries in Europe and the USA.

And by no accident, they leave out the Middle East and all of South & Central America and Mexico.


Oh and of course a place like Norway doesn't have Democratic Plantations like inner city Chicago, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Oakland, etc.

Statistics are like bikinis. What they show is interesting, what they conceal is essential.

The Progressives are going to have a hissy fit now that their lies have again been exposed.

Lott often claims that there is no difference between the frequency of public shootings in Europe and the United States. This is unabashedly false — but he continues to spread the falsehood anyway.

Yeah . . . not at all. The scale is all off. Norway has had one mass killing spree, but it was Anders Breivik, and he killed 77 people in a country of about 5 million.

Look at the date of the article.

This is a much more recent chart:

Mass shootings in America are a serious problem -- and these 9 charts show just why

Why do the right-wing keep having to lie? Oh yeah, because facts has a liberal bias.

I love threads that make it clear who failed high school statistics.

Using your words, explain Norway. I'll wait until it dawns on you.

1516 mass shootings in 1735 days: America's gun crisis - The Guardian

America's gun culture in 10 charts - BBC News

How US gun culture compares with the world in five charts - CNN

There has only been one mass shooting in a school ever in the UK, and that was Dunblane in 1996, since then there has only ever been one mass shooting, in 2010 in Cumbria.

List of massacres in Great Britain - Wikipedia

It's really up to Americans as to how they want to proceed in relation to guns, however in most countries in the rest of the western world, gun laws are not that controversial and people can still buy weapons for hunting, sports, gamekeeping, farming and other employment or pursuits.

I am certainly not going to lecture Americans on how they live their lives, however once they start using stats regarding the UK I will correct any information I feel is inaccurate.
