and you are copy/pasting straight from a biased news source with skewed data.
How did I jump the gun? YOU posted the copy/paste article for us to read. Seems YOU jumped the gun by posting before researching the article yourself. I responded to YOUR jumping the gun.
That would require WAY too much research for the OP to actually dig into and find real stats by government to prove each of these points. It is much easier to regurgitate biased sources that are easy to research by Googling "mass shootings" and copy/pasting their articles.

LOL...leave it to the libtards to even skew the actual title to make it sound like they are "firearms experts".
If you follow the links to the actual study it says this:
"Expert firearms researchers were defined as those individuals that 1) publish in peer-reviewed journals and 2) publish specifically about firearms in the public health, public policy, sociology, or criminology literature. Expert researchers were defined as first authors on at least 1 peer-reviewed journal article from 2011 to the present (February 2014). It was felt that including all authors would overweight the public health/medicine area of research since articles there tend to have more authors."
So they are expert firearms researchers....not firearms experts....and from the qualifications to be an expert firearms researcher, I am pretty sure they have no real world experience with firearms other than what they read....
Harvard Source
The author of the OP source and the OP could at least TRY to keep it on the up and up without skewing the titles so much that they have a completely different meaning.

The only "research" you did was read a VOX article, then copy and pasted it saying you took a while to read it. How is that research at all?
You clearly have no idea as to the meaning of the term "research".

Have you studied criminology? Or are you going by articles?

Judging others is always easier than judging yourself. How about the hundreds of thousands of refugees and economic migrants entering your countries. I believe it's anot old English saying "make sure your own house is in order".

You just won't do it will you? You just refuse to respond to the facts I have posted.
In just a single post I refuted every single thing you have posted in (16) pages...and you refuse to respond. Why? Is it because you know you have no response? Because you know it illustrates all you have posted as nothing more than propaganda driven nonsense with no basis in fact? Or...is it because you would have to admit you are WRONG?
edit...btw, the post to which I refer is on page 9 (in case you missed it...which I'm quite certain you did not).

You quoted a blog post as fact mate. I am having a hard time getting over that fact - particularly when i was attacked for doing the very same thing.
But for the sake of argument I am actually looking at it right now, so calm the hell down and knock off the unwarranted attacks please.
