U.S. Massacres

The largest massacres in the U.S. are not what the leftist press has sold. While the Press will report that every shooting is "the worst massacre in the U.S.", and imply that gun nuts are crazy to fear their government/neighbors from ever doing anything bad, they tend to omit all of the following massacres. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-06-11

🗒️ Note:
Watch the word-smithing. If the Press/Left is saying "Mass Shooting" instead of "Massacre" or "Mass Murder" it's because they're trying to dodge events, under the fraud that someone would rather be blown up, beheaded, or burned to death, rather than being shot to death. And the latter is somehow worse. It isn't.

Conclusion

The first thing you need to know is the breakdown of Mass shootings in the U.S. (using the most comprehensive study, the FBI study that looked at 2000-2013), and a summary is:

• 160 events (6 were females)
• averaging 11 events a year
• the average "active shooter" kills 3 people over about 5 minutes, and doesn't even need to reload (most have more than one gun)
• 70% focused on "gun free zones" (businesses or schools)
• 67% of the time it ended before police arrived because, the shooter fled, committed suicide, or a citizen intervened
  • 40% ended with the perpetrator committing suicide (and most of the time the shooter committed suicide or fled is because civilians intervened)
• In the last 100 shootings the average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 14.29, when stopped by a civilian it is 2.33
