It sounds to me like there wouldn't be school shootings if there were schools.
ban schools.

president says that gun violence is through the roof
http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf
Department of Justice says otherwise


the report was dated May 13 but they're only tracking from 93-11, I suppose it takes a couple years for data to be filtered through ..

or maybe I shouldn't trust a site called BJs.gov

or maybe I'm too impatient and want to see current numbers to validate what the president is saying before making rash decisions? maybe i'm just paranoid and I should believe the president... he went to college so he knows better than me...

He went to an ivy league school and majored in a humanities field so his head is full of some unbelievably weird shit. It doesn't really matter what the president thinks though, this is an issue for the legislature.

Care to list where you pulled this number from? I already have a source lined up that shows this number is bullshit. I'm just curious if you make this up as you go along or if you have a site you're actually pulling this from.

For Rok - The simplest definition of a mass shooting is a gun crime in which at least four people other than the shooter are killed. Over the decades the number of these murders has zig-zagged up and down without a discernable pattern. There have not been over 100 of these this year so go back in your hole.

The rest of the world has them aswell, we have the best media coverage in the world, most complete I should say.

Most of the mass shootings have a common theme, either a history of mental distress and/or the use of psychotropic drugs by the offender. We corner the market as a society on these drugs. You could also say the breakdown of the family and traditional values but I dont really buy that. The narcissistic tendencies that get brought out from our instant fame/selfie/instant gratification/entitlement era we have now. Dunno, just some ideas.

You and Vermi are confusing the definition of mass shooting with mass murder. If we went by your definition a gunman could shoot 13 people, kill zero and it would not be considered a mass shooting.

That kind of logic is why no one takes you serious anymore.

You declining to state your sources when asked and just ignoring such requests is why I pretty much ignore most of what you say now.

Also, it's kind of douchey to talk shit to G-Fist when you did not clarify what you were saying. Considering the direction this thread has gone, I'm pretty sure anyone would have thought you meant mass shootings where people died.

Instead, you bring up mass shootings (where people didn't die), don't clarify, and then talk shit when he assume you meant the other.

I guess you get off on just being a giant douche to your gaming buddies on a public forum. Not sure what's going on with you Rok but you're kind of an asshole on here.

If you hadn't noticed you guys are getting trolled by Team Canada. One post by Holden or Firaxis and you guys are all up in arms again. I'll gladly play the role of the asshole if it gets you guys to shut the fuck up about things that are beyond your grasp.
