In year(2018), Chicago,Baltimore,St.Louis,New Orleans,Newark, and Detroit zoomed by those numbers, just those cities, and we could of included several more, which would of probably doubled the mass murder numbers of 53 years..

Inner Cities 1 year>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 53 years of mass shootings


Holy frick

Another case of media hysteria. If we didn't cover mass shootings most of them would stop.

Not to downplay the victims, but this is not really that much in the grand scheme of things.

I assume most of the inner city murders were committed with hammers.

It's pretty difficult to downplay the victims. If someone you know is in that number you may have a different viewpoint. That being said, those cities are shitholes and need to be washed out and started over

The media can't make up its mind on what they consider mass shootings.

When one happens they include the inner cities and scream THERE'S BEEN 250 THIS YEAR.

Then they write something like this and they don't include those.

That doesn’t even exceed the number of abortions per DAY each year in America.

The loons don’t care about human life. They only want control.

Still doesn't make them right, nor to be ignored.
1,196 innocent souls lost is 1,196 too many.

How many have died in commercial airlines since 1966? It's fairly low, but it's not like the airline industry should just blow off a low number of deaths.

My opinion on abortion is kind of a double-edged sword. I mean, I like the idea of killing babies, but I don’t like the idea of giving women the chance to make decisions.

Morally, I believe abortion is murder. I’m not opposed to murder though, so I support it.

I honestly wish there was a way to show these assholes a glimpse of what a weapons ban would accomplish. If only history could show us.....

ill just play devil's advocate and say that the horror is that the victims are completely innocent and unaware. They did not "live by the sword" as do most of those killed in inner cities.

That’s a pretty bold assumption. A tad racist
