5 Facts About Mass Shootings That The Gun Control Fanatics Don’t Want You to See

Every time there is a mass shooting we get the same old song and dance from the gun control fanatics. You’re sorry this happened? Then you must institute gun control. Oh, you don’t want to do that? Then it’s your fault that it happened. The NRA is bad. They kill people. We must have gun control. Innocent law-abiding Americans are responsible. Don’t you feel bad for the victims? Then institute our gun control agenda that will do nothing to stop the killings. It’s hamhanded, relentless propaganda peddled by smug, self-righteous anti-gun zealots.

Well, here are some things you don’t typically see those anti-gun nuts mention when they demand that we disarm the whole country because some crazy murdered people.

1) Some of the worst mass murders didn’t use guns: The worst mass murder on American soil was 9/11 which featured terrorists turning planes into weapons and 2,996 people. Then there was the Oklahoma City Bombing which used explosives and cost the lives of 168. One of the largest mass murders and worst at a school was the Bath School Disaster in 1927 which used dynamite/pyrotol to achieve a 44 person body count. In 1962 a man committed suicide via dynamite ON A PLANE. Forty five people died when it went down. In the 2016 Nice attack in France, 86 people were killed with a large cargo truck. In 2016 in Japan, 19 people were even killed with a knife. The idea that these sort of killings are impossible without guns just isn’t true.

"Assault" rifles is just the latest thing liberals are latching onto in their drive to confiscate all firearms.  Twenty years ago we were deluged with stories about the evil handgun. I remember seeing a number of tv shows about children being killed by a firearm carelessly left around the house by a parent. We were supposed to be outraged by The Evil Handgun and demand everybody turn their's in.
Now it's "assault" rifles and semiautomatic weapons. Which would be millions of handguns and rifles. We just had a mass murder in Canada involving a motor vehicle. A crazy guy in China just murdered seven children with a knife.
Where are the liberal crusades to ban motor vehicles and knives? Oh yeah, I forgot....Britain wants to punish people who walk around with knives. Yeah, that'll work.
