But liberals and the liberal media are absolutely flooding the boards with lies about guns and gun control now.
Via Daily Wire:
There’s a myth that has been propagated by Democrats after mass shootings: mass shootings are far more common in the United States than in other Western countries.
To wit, Barack Obama, June 18, 2015, after the Charleston, North Carolina mass shooting: “Let’s be clear: At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
Former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, June 23, 2015: “The United States is the only advanced country where this kind of mass violence occurs,” he said.
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, after the Florida Valentine’s Day shooting: “This happens nowhere else other than the United States of America.”
But as Investor’s Business Daily points out, “a study of global mass-shooting incidents from 2009 to 2015 by the Crime Prevention Research Center, headed by economist John Lott, shows the U.S. doesn’t lead the world in mass shootings. In fact, it doesn’t even make the top 10, when measured by death rate per million population from mass public shootings.”
