Deadliest Mass Shootings Around The World
The United States is now the most violent country in the industrialized world when it comes to school shootings and mass shootings.
Multiple shootings are extremely rare in the UK and most incidents involving two or more deaths have been related to organised crime, such as feuds between drug dealers or gangs.

In case someone missed it
186 children 148 adults died

Which means the US is not the most violent country in the world.

Yeah well where I live there has never been a "mass shooting" 99.9% of Americans don't live in those areas either.
So was there a point there?
Other than to say how bad my country is?edit on 14-12-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)
Do you actually believe the dribble you spout?
How many other massacres were there in that country since then? I dont think the militants were even from there. Even if they were they were not a part of the society they were ISLAMIC TERRORISTS!!!!!!
So me some examples of a country that REGULARLY has mass shootings by its citizens and your above quote can be considered something more than completely ridiculous
All I did was load my gun with the ammo you gave me so to speak, I quoted the facts from the source you provided so maybe subconciously your saying your country is bad? It cant be that great if you feel unsafe without a gun can it?
And yes my point was the beslan killers were not members of Russian society, most of them werent even Russian and they were politically motivated.
With all your shootings they are Americans both culturally and nationally and they arent political they are people venting anger and frustration at the world with no goal in mind other than to kill.
No just don't buy into to I'm evil just because I have a gun
Come agian? Psychos running around with a gun is still a pyscho.
Why? Some people are telling me people are dropping like flies around me when they don't live here so hot damn I should just take their word for it.
Never said you or any other gun lover on this forum were evil, blinded by your love of guns and fear of the unknown and perhaps a bit ignorant to reality yes but not evil
True but being honest Im more disturbed by the thought of Students snapping and killing fellow students than politically motivated psychos killing people. Before anyone jumps down my throat I find both abhorrent but kids doing it for no reason than being bullied!!!! It scares the crap out of me more than any Islamic seperatist
I noticed you chose not to supply a country, not because you didnt feel the need to but because there arent any.
Maybe they arent dropping around you but how many mass shootings has that been in the past few months in the good ol US of A? is it 3 or 4? The shootings arent done by drug cartels, islamic militants or even revolutionaries just plain mentally disturbed citizens
Loaded with blanks maybe
So the end was the same
Some are just in case someone forgot Giffords and with all "my" shootings? Yeah right what amazes me is what other people ignore because they love to stand on their pedstals looking down at others,.
Obviously not, you took my quoting of your article as an attack on your country. The same article you linked in an attempt to defend it
Where did it say the Gifford shooting was political?
Ive addressed everything youve said so what am I ignoring?
Being honest dude, you picked an awful way with this thread to try and validate your point
