Mass shootings are the price we pay for our second amendment rights
Nobody gives a shit if a few people get shot
They proved that in Norway...
Oh, wait, maybe not.

Why? because it's sanctioned by the state? apparently you're in the crowd that believes that those controlling the levers of state power operate under a different set of morals and ethics than the rest of humanity.The word murder has a specific meaning, war isn't murder.... just off the top of my head I think the various STATES involved wacked somewhere between 20 and 30 million civilians just in WW II alone....... it'll be a while before armed private citizens match that total.
If you want to fire up a good mass killing spree the best place to start is in a National Capital, that's where the real expert mass murderers reside.
And where do you get 30 million from? .
If I actually cared what "the left" thought I suppose that might be worrisome......You're the kind of guy that gives the left plenty of ammo

I agree. Criminals do not respect existing gun laws now (for instance felons are not allowed to carry guns), yet liberals somehow think any new gun laws will be respected by criminals.Only in liberal land do idiots think more gun control laws, piled on top of already existing gun control laws, will some how, magically, convince bad guys to suddenly see the light and obey all those laws.
Way way beyond stupid but the low info dopes swallow the b.s. time and time again.

Tell me why are you concentrating on the least likely way to get killed by a gun rather than the most likely way?
Mass shootings for all their media appeal and knee jerk reaction potential are responsible for less than 1% of all murders committed with guns.

We also went through our period of assassinations not to mention our 13,000 murders a year. Not to mention suicides and accidents
A small price to pay for our second amendment

Suicides don't count neither do accidents.
Neither are illegal.
Let's deal with the illegal use of guns first shall we?
Actually, the best thing about it is it keeps people like you from moving here.Why should they do anything?
Your all happy enough to go round shooting each other,
You've got the right to own guns,
Why not go round the neighbours and shoot them?
Make yer famous!
And of course, they won't do anything because,
IT'S KEEPING THE POPULATION DOWN.

Cool, me and Captain Mossberg will be waitin' for ya.I'm already here,Actually, the best thing about it is it keeps people like you from moving here.
Moved here just before WW2 finished.
And I know where you live.
America sells billions of dollars of weapons all over the world every year and then everyone wonders why so many people get shot.

Interesting paper that actually worked not to have an agenda.
The Shooting Cycle by Josh Blackman, Shelby Baird :: SSRN[FONT=Myriad Roman, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;]The pattern is a painfully familiar one. A gunman opens fire in a public place, killing many innocent victims. After this tragedy, support for gun control surges. With a closing window for reform, politicians and activists quickly push for new gun laws. But as time elapses, support decreases. Soon enough, the passions fade, and society returns to the status quo.
We call this paradigm "the shooting cycle." This article provides the first qualitative and quantitative analysis of the shooting cycle, and explains how and why people and governments react to mass shootings.
This article proceeds in five parts. First, we bring empirical clarity to the debate over mass shootings, and show that contrary to popular opinion, they are fairly rare, and are not occurring more frequently. Second, relying on cognitive biases such as the availability heuristic, substitution effect, and cultural cognition theory, we demonstrate why the perception of risk and reaction to these rare and unfamiliar events are heightened. Third we chronicle the various stages of the shooting cycle: tragedy, introspection, action, divergence, and return to the status quo. During the earlier stages, emotional capture sets in, allowing politicians and activists to garner support for reform. But, after the spike, soon support for reform fades, and regresses to the mean. Fifth, with this framework, we view the year following the horrific massacre in Newtown through the lens of the shooting cycle. We conclude by addressing whether the shooting cycle can be broken.[/FONT]

Does it?
The entire section on Breaking the Cycle very much had an agenda as I read it. They were essentially exploring how to change the culture to be able to pass gun control legislation. The cycle is a rather silly thing to study if you ask me. We ALL know that it exists and why.
