Why There's No Shootings In The US Anymore?

[killgald]

Due to more gun control regulation, if you take the weapons out of the public less kids will shoot the brains out of their school friends.

How can you know that? I really don't see how you say anymore Street shootings in usa? Just go and check out local web sites. With this many guns, is it possible to see shootings are stopped?

-Obvioulsy, no.

Here are the most recent killings by police in the U.S.

More and more cameras, so less and less police doing "let's just shoot that black guy and pretend he was committing a crime".

These from the last three days.

Your post just gave me a cancer.

Companies are selling factory made guns to kids on meds? Or do gun permit owning citizens? No? Then fuck off.

In one sentence you try to justify breach of human rights by picking a strawman already addressed by law. It is not legal to shoot your co-students or is it? Then why the hell would you care, if the gun is legal as a would be killer?

None of the guns used in Paris terror attacks were legal and France is a country with extremely tough gun control. The only thing said gun control ensured was that out of hundred plus victims - none was armed.

I think there are still shooting everywhere in the US. Is that it is not being sensationalized by the media. Wait till there is a school mass shooting again and you will see media all over it. I don't believed it has something to do with gun control. If people wants to do it, they will regardless of any law against carrying a gun.

[PeterTheGrape]

There are a few elements necessary for a shooting to get mass publicity.

1) Camera recording clearly.

2) Individual shot in the back, or while in handcuffs, or on camera seen not presenting any threat.

3) No other major news in the cycle that day.

That perfect storm only happens every few weeks or less, in the United States, but is common in some countries/

The US is a very large country, and the crime rate is quite high (at least when compared to the European nations). So you can expect such mass shootings to happen frequently. But I really doubt whether they will have anything like the magnitude of the 2011 Norway attacks, where 77 individuals were killed.

It seems like all those mass shootings in the US have stopped for now. Maybe it's because Obama is no longer there ordering them?

What's your opinion?

Even though am not a fan of the ex president, it's ridiculous to think he got people killed and for what reason. Mind you that there had been shooting whiles trump had been in office.

The first post seems to be leaning on the conspiracy side of things.

Cyber police might do better job these days, since most of these killers leave abudant evidence on internet well before any attack.

Also, gun violence as a whole has been going down for years in United States and other countries where permits are legal. Its not even about gun control laws.

Not to mention some of these have the nerve to upload videos of them committing crime. Heck, some even stream the deed! It's surprising they are still competent at committing crimes despite the stupidity.

And then for a few weeks you'd get a slew of copycat killers doing the same thing... Human psychology can be quite weird...

When the populace is armed there are shootings almost every day. Check this site for more details..

So far this month 12 people dead in shootings.. pew pew pew

Sweet Jesus I LOLed. You get a cookie

Good ole Murica. I love this fucker and hate it, but like it more than I dislike it.

My dick gets hard for guns, I'll be damned if I'm deprived. But the longer I stay on this earth, the less I'm seeing a need for high caliber handguns, and assault rifles in the hands of unqualified civilians. Don't take my long guns. But maybe we should be a little more vigilant for those that would buy the more lethal ordinance. It trickles back down too frequently, and usually just ends up in the hands of a drug organization, eventually.

Switzerland also have a high rate of gun ownership but you don't see people there killing each other. Just get keep guns away from the crazier ones and things will be fine. For every trigger happy lunatic out there, there are a couple more responsible gun owners.

Obama did a lot of things and gave out irresponsible statements, which negatively affected the morale of the police officers. Perhaps the real reason may be that the cops feel more confident under Trump.

they're probably afraid of being deported elsewhere
if you are from mexico and starts shooting, you and your kin would be deported even when you're already a US citizen and have already stayed in US
for 20 years.

So are you claiming that the expats are the ones doing the shooting,i do not think so that is the case,guns laws should be implemented to minimize these issues and if they are really planning to deport everyone then there will be only native Americans left,because rest of the people came and conquered them.

The cowards always choose a school or any other place where the defense level is 0 or near zero. There is only one way to stop it spread more than it is already is and that is to add the death punishment for the offender. Have you noticed that these things never happen in states like Texas where death punishment is still on ? Yes that would be the solution to this crazy problem.

Might be hard to swallow for people who have worked for human rights all there lives but yes, there must be line that must not be crossed with regards to crimes. I've always thought that solitary confinement would be the best alternative to death penalty because of the pain it'll inflict on the prisoner (much scarier than death penalty). Unfortunately they've now also considered it a human rights violation. So what deterrent will we have against these violent criminals now?

Mass shooting is nothing but politics and politics is the most dangerous game there is today

Since when did they stop? They're still happening; just like in Europe and other countries. There will always be crazy people.
I wish they'd stop, and sometimes things go in swings; but ultimately they won't stop. At least not any time soon.

No you are totally wrong about that .There has been a lot of shooting there in america.U should reconsider the fact that 2 indians have been killed by shooting due to racism ,Well would u say it has been ordered.I dont think so.
Gun control and their policies are very much weak and it needs to be strengthened for the betterment of the immigrants.

He was referring to mass shootings which result in dozens of casualties, and not isolated incidents targeting individuals. The two incidents involving Indian immigrants are being treated like regular crime.

I'm amazed at your naivety. What does the cops? The cops always arrive after the crime has occurred and they can not affect the statistics. I think that the decrease in the activity of psycho was due to the end of spring. The next burst will be in the fall. It is a well-known periods of exacerbation of mental disorders. Trump has nothing to do with it and yet nothing is done.

[sunkiller]

I guess the US school shootings bubble popped up. Now it's no longer so trendy to go and shoot your classmates and teachers. We'll see how long it takes for a new bubble to start. Trends repeat every few decades or so.

That and also Muslim extremists are doing a much more professional job of killing innocent civilians, so wannabe school shooters are probably feeling unmotivated.
