Just a little something to think about on this Monday morning…….
Since about 1990 NRA has had a full court press to save our “gun rights”…….and the enablers at the GOP have been pushing more and more “gun rights”….you know kinda like open carry, easier acquisition, shoot first laws. etc etc……..
In case you were wondering….how have the mass shootings fair during this full court press by NRA………now with the most recent mass shooting in Louisiana got me asking a question…..is it just me or are these incidents become commonplace?
Take a look at the graphic below and ask yourself if there is a correlation here……
Does anyone else think that these shootings are occurring way to often?
It’s the worst kind of synchronicity: A website that tracks mass shootings in the US had logged 203 through Wednesday. It hasn’t caught up with last night’s rampage in a Louisiana theater, but when it does, that will be No. 204—and yesterday was the 204th day of the year, notes the Washington Post. The Mass Shooting Tracker is a crowd-sourced tool from an anti-gun forum at Reddit called Guns Are Cool, and it defines “mass shooting” as incident in which at least four people were shot. Not all of the incidents resulted in deaths.
A post at Quartz digs in a little deeper to the numbers and finds that 40 of 50 states have had at least one such mass shooting this year, with New York (16), California (14), Florida (14), Texas (12), and Georgia (12) at the top of the list. In its coverage, the Post quotes a barb from the Economist, written after the Charleston church massacre, that has been in wide circulation of late: “Those who live in America, or visit it, might do best to regard [mass shootings] the way one regards air pollution in China: an endemic local health hazard which, for deep-rooted cultural, social, economic and political reasons, the country is incapable of addressing. This may, however, be a bit unfair. China seems to be making progress on pollution.”
Sad that a great society has come to this!

To be honest this image just makes me more suspicious of what is happening in the government and false flags and set ups..am I the only one?
Thanx so much for the re-blog…..I appreciate the help….chuq
your more than welcome you do some great posts 🙂
Thanx….glad you like the site….
Yes, very sad. And there seems to be no way to stop it – unless hard gun control and most important background checks and fair waiting periods are part of the equation. But, that doesn’t seem to be in the foreseeable future.
The NRA has done an excellent job at brainwashing the public…..Goebbels would be proud….chuq

Sad indeed!! Great society? I wonder ……
As always…I appreciate the re-blog…..
One fact that would really color the facts one way or the other is how many of the weapons were acquired legally. I would guess most were not. Not to suggest that every killing was not a tragedy but if there are 3 or 4 guns out there for every man, woman and child in America(that would make a billion+), 204 is very tiny. Believe me, I do get it though. Members of my family have survived 5 drive- by shootings in Miami. In Miami they are so frequent some don’t even make the news or paper.
so far the most recent ones the guns were bought legally……When I worked with the local housing authority I was part of a drive by….very adrenaline producing…….
