Claim – There Have Been 56 MASS SHOOTINGS in 2018 Already! – IOTW Report

Claim – There Have Been 56 MASS SHOOTINGS in 2018 Already!

Here’s the list of MASS SHOOTINGS (below). It sounds awful. 56 already! We must DO SOMETHING.

Wait, what’s that? In more than half of these mass shootings 1 or ZERO is the most common number of deaths?

How come that isn’t reported?

Check out the other years. Same thing. Last year there were only 2 MASS SHOOTINGS that resulted in double digit deaths. The left makes it seem like over 300 times there were shootings that resulted in dozens of people killed.

Nope. Most “mass shootings” results in 1, 2 or no deaths.

Another technique the left employs is to talk about “gun deaths” as if they were all murders. Nope. They lump in accidents and suicides.

Some sites go even further. They cite murders and leave the reader to think they are all gun related  when they are actually every type of murder, including people who have their heads held under water because they are LIARS!

  1. ok, so, now lets break it down to states to see the states that had multiple incidents. then from there show me the counties and the proximity to past incidents with in 100 miles to the current ones. then i want someone to go to in-n-out and get me 2 #1’s with extra crispy fries and a vanilla shake! and i want chuck schumer to deliver it in his clown car, move it!

  2. “We demand complete compliance with our every directive” and to that end it is imperative that the rabble be disarmed. To accomplish this, deceit is the tool of choice.

  3. I notice there are NO entries from Chicago, Baltimore, LA, and only one from NYC. Huh. How bout dat. I’m not going to dig into it, but methinks the tallyers are being quite selective.

    For comparative purposes. they should do the same calculation for Mexico, same time period. They’ll see far fewer identified shooters there as well. I guarantee it.

  4. The crazies have reached a rabid pitch in gun control demands with their failure to close the deal. They were so close they could taste it but then Trump came along.

  5. flip, heyjackass.com is calling Chicago at 52 multiples (2 or more victims) already this year, 90 deaths overall. Perhaps they need some gun control laws there…
