USA! USA! USA! Leaders by far in mass shootings!
The United States is, by a long shot, the global leader in mass
shootings, claiming just 5% of the global population but an outsized share -- 31% -- of the world's mass shooters since 1966, a new study finds. The Philippines, Russia, Yemen and France -- all countries that can claim a substantial share of the 291 documented mass shootings between 1966 and 2012 -- collectively didn't even come close to the United States. And what makes the United States such a fertile incubator for mass shooters? A comprehensive analysis of the perpetrators, their motives and the national contexts for their actions suggests that several factors have conspired to create in the United States a potent medium for fostering large-scale murder. You think mass shootings are happening all the time? They are more frequent, data show You think mass shootings are happening all the time? They are more frequent, data show Those factors include a chronic and widespread gap between Americans' expectations for themselves and their actual achievement, Americans' adulation of fame, and the extent of gun ownership in the United States. Set those features against a circumstance the United States shares with many other countries -- a backdrop of poorly managed mental illness -- and you have a uniquely volatile brew, the new study says. http://www.latimes.com/science/scien...824-story.html |

The fact is, we are still getting safer every day. The FBI crime statistics prove it. The problem is "you are safer" never sold a paper or got anyone to tune in at 11. |

Is there any hope for you having a gun accident while towing your metal motel room down the interstate to a white folks music festival where you can take your teeth out and play along with your tissue paper and comb? |

Crikey, Tim, what is the connection between being the host of the largest number of mass shootings and food production/humanitarian aid? Is it a causal relationship? Have you been watching Fox again, or talking on the phone to Herring or Ingersoll or FlaJim, aka the rec.boat idiots? |
