GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

All were still mass shootings though.

Actually there are conflicting stories about many of these shootings. Alternate theories surround every shooting in recent history. Actors playing the parts of grieving parents, [photos of the same people at different shootings have ben shown] Gov involvement [in a attempt to sway public opinion as to disarm us], false flag theory's are involved in most of these, including sandyhook and aurora. So depending on what side of the fence you stand is what stories you believe.

Just like the 2 I mentioned, Its all a big conspiracy.

I understand if you want to label all multi-scene deaths by gunfire in wars, battles, disputes, attempts to end stand-offs, etc (including deaths resulting from gunfire by Mormon militias and/or the government) as 'mass shootings', F.U. That's not technically or linguistically wrong; there's no argument here.

And, I don't care if you and/or other conspiracy theorists believe that the Sandy Hook mass shooting didn't really happen and was just a hoax pulled off by actors instead of by Adam Lanza, or that the stand-off at Waco ended with 70 people being secretly shot to death by the government instead of dying in a fire.

I know it's been posted a few times previously, but a public 'mass shooting' in modern reference and tracking terms typically refers to a single incident where four or more people are murdered by firearm'. That's the context in which I used the term.



But, I acknowledge that large groups of people have been killed by firearms throughout our country's history in different contexts as well.

I'm not interested in a semantics argument or delving into conspiracy theories. So, let me rephrase again, "the Orlando nightclub massacre is the deadliest public mass shooting by a single or team of assailants against a group of innocent unsuspecting civilians in this country's recent history."
