    Default CTV's "Mass Shootings" since Jan. 1, 2016

    CTV has released a post yesterday with an updated list of mass shootings in the US.
    http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/a-map-of...2016-1.2684432

    According to the Gun Violence Archive, where these numbers come from, a mass shooting is defined as "four or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location, not including the shooter."
    With June 13 being the 165th day of the year, there has so far been approximately 0.82 mass shootings per day in the U.S.
    This image below is from the website but I thought it was something interesting to draw attention to;

    Now, I know that graph is from 2012, but I bet there's not one person that would disagree when I say that up to this day, this graph probably reflects truth still.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    The problem with the US isn't that there aren't tough enough gun laws it is that they aren't enforced properly. The last attacker was apparently questioned or watched three times and yet still managed to obtain the weapon. That's a failure on the part of the FBI and President Obama's administration which has been in office for 8 years but which still likes to blame the previous Bush administration for any failing of any kind. That's why it is rich for this terrible President to sit there on television demanding more gun laws when he's failed to enforce the reasonable existing gun laws.

    Nobody objects to background checks + keeping them away from the mentally unstable, but federal/state governments are failing to enforce.
