Yeah.....keep pushing the lie and uninformed people will believe it....
Congressional Study Shows No Mass Public Shooting Epidemic - Breitbart
For time period studied–1999-2013–the CRS found only a slight uptick in events during last five years (2009-2013), but credited that uptick to 2012; the year of the Aurora theater attack and Sandy Hook. CRS points out that without 2012, the last five year “averages would actually have been lower than the preceding five year period (2004-2008).”
Reason magazine reported that Northwest University’s James Alan Fox commented on the CRS study by saying the data shows “a great volatility in the numbers. There’s no solid trend.” This bolsters arguments Fox has made for some time; namely, the static nature of such shootings versus the efforts of media outlets and gun control groups to give the impression that mass shootings and mass public shootings are happening at a rapidly increasing pace.
Fox added one more comment on the CRS study: “No matter how you cut it, there’s no epidemic.”
