What a coincidence, post #33 on the "one a day" claim comes up with the 33 a day figure.

The OP shootings ... are the ones I'm talking about. Not just any shooting.

These wackos and nut jobs are one in a million ... something is driving them to these extremes.

Movies perhaps, we all watch movies, but some people think they are real and that mental unbalance causes the problem.

The media exposes these shootings for the hungry and thirsty for the shocking news and in turn causes even more mental instable people to imitate the ones on the news.

We will never have a perfect society ... that's all I meant by one in a million people will go to the extremes these news items have generated.

Oy, Alex Jones never misses a chance to ramp up the paranoia:

Taking this just a step further, it makes sense that Jones would be an agent provocateur himself!

(OMG, this post is #666! Lawd help me!)

Jerad Miller's posts on Infowars depict an angry, down-on-his-luck man who blamed his woes—decaying teeth, lack of health insurance, and inability to find work—on the tyranny of government.

He's reported to have been a methamphetamine addict, but yeah, it's the government's fault his teeth were falling out.

Nothing that a little Obamacare will "never" fix.

OK fair enough.
now talking about only mass shootings, taking into account population differences why does the US appear to have proportionally more than other western countries.
other countries have movies, other countries have sensationalist media, other countries have mentally unstable people. So why is America so different on this?
Its OK to say rather flippantly that its one in a million, but if other countries come up with 1 in 30 million, one in a hundred million or once in a blue moon when the wind comes from the north and south the geese fly backwards and Tuesday becomes Sunday it shows that your problem is vastly greater.
Is it more crazies, crazier crazies or crazies having too easy access to firearms?

Maybe because we're swimming in the dirtiest gene pool on the planet?
That would explain it.
