Gun Nuts’ Infuriating Craze: Why They Want To Redefine “School Shootings”

Gun nuts' infuriating craze: Why they want to redefine

What do you do if you want to avoid the tiniest of gun safety restrictions? For some, ludicrous math is the answer

 

 

“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
 I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.

 

 
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.

 

According to a recently published report, the report states Throughout our existence, human beings have asked some of the great questions to which we may never truly find answers. Why are we here? Is there life after death? What technically constitutes a “school shooting”?

 

 

Wait, what?

 

 

That’s right. “What is a school shooting” is the question right-wing gun-rights activists are posing after a study by gun violence prevention group Everytown for Gun Safety showed there’s been a total of 74 school shootings in the United States, since 26 people, including 20 children, were killed in December 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

 

 

For what it’s worth, a school shooting is defined by Wikipedia as “an occurrence in which an individual discharges a gun and that incident takes place at an education institution.” This seems pretty straightforward. There is a shooting at a school; it is a school shooting. But the problem lies in the fact that if this definition is true, then Everytown’s list of school shootings, which are based on true, actual events, is accurate. And if that stands, gun-rights advocates will have a harder time defending their position of not even closing the tiniest of loopholes to make it even a tad more difficult for wannabe school shooters to gain access to guns.

 

 

So, what better way to combat this alarming list of school shootings than to redefine the term “school shooting” itself? By doing this, according to gun-rights activists, you knock off, say, 59 of the 74 school shootings, leaving you with only 15 real, true, legitimate school shootings. ONLY 15! That’s nothing. We can live with that, right? Apparently, gun-rights activists can. They sleep at night knowing the country’s lax gun control laws took the lives of numerous students and teachers at only 15 school shootings. The sad thing is, media outlets are now using this new “revised” number.

  • Funny how it is you never ever explain how it is that most, almost 100% of these shootings are born out of democrat, left out of their minds, operatives, and while you claim its the right-wing-gun-nuts doing it, we out here know that’s a straight up lie, but, nice try, too bad for you most out here are far more educated of the issues at hand then you apparently think or are yourself. Like I said , nice try, but, HUGE FAIL. Maybe now you’ll rethink your position since this article has generated, 0-recommends ha-ha-ha and you still wonder why, sure left of mind lost soul, keep posting bull crap, that’ll convince all of your friends, but not the truth seekers, we know better. .

  • JayWill, you are a liar.

    The thing is, we all KNOW you are a liar. You and your President flat out lie whenever you say, “we only want a small change….”

    Most of us out here in the world who have been around more than a few years have seen law after law passed, and have seen claim after claim of “we don’t want your guns, just a little change, etc”

    So who is it that you think you are fooling?

    I have more respect for Diane Feinstein. At least she is up front about her goals,( Mr and Mrs America, turn ‘em all in.”)

    The fact is, you are all evil scum who want to disarm Americans.

    No one who wants to disarm Americans means us well.

    When you say you want to disarm us (“make a small change…”) you are saying you want millions of people to be raped, robbed, murdered and assaulted by criminals, and you are saying that you want them preyed upon by an evil out of control government.

    That makes YOU evil.

  • If you truly want to stop the death of children – stop the mass slaughter of kids by taking weapons guns out of our hands —- then forget guns!

    30,000 are killed every year is this country by guns
    half are suicides
    250 + – are kids
    the rest are shot by cops, gang bangers shooting each other or honest folks defending themselves,

    But the real killer of kids IS swimming pools — yes — ban them and you will save 25,000 each and every year.

    Lets see 250 by banning guns or 25,000 by banning pools — Sure the logical answer is guns? right?

    killing 25,000 by swimming pools is acceptable, but 250 by guns no no

    • Skin cancer takes another 10K a year. We need to ban the sun.

  • this shooting was just another false flag op . i am not failing for it . the dad in this thing acts like a Broadway actor he puts tooo much afford in it . all the shootings are bogus . form the movie theater to the lost vegus . all bogus .

  • Yo Jaysleazy,

    As a matter of fact, a fake mass shooting staged by our public servants happens every 72 hours in America. So if this is a fact, then this makes you a liar, because you are spreading lies and disinformation.

    The truth always brings out ones true colors, so you have been identified as another misinformed liar…Unfortunately, your either ignorant or not awake to whats really going on..

    Almost 70% of BIN readers know how to disect the BS and get to the facts. It’s so easy to connect the dots, once you understand it’s all one big fraud.

    Truth or Death!
