here are some statistics 4e message from Mother Jones to analyze the mass
shootings in america
going back to 1982 have not been 67
mass shootings a basis on the FBI clarification
of for more people killed and they've
chose my criteria by a single shooter in
outdoor scenario 67 mass shootings in america
since 1982 thirty of those have occurred
since 2006 17 2012 alone
and five so far this year so a dramatic escalation in mass shootings in america
in the last seven or eight years also why do you think there's not a problem
well there is a problem here appears
when I failures in the nation is to even talk about
the complexity of the problem you know Pierce after
the tragedy last year at Sandy Hook everyone seemed to have is one of their
talking points
mental health and soon as we said mental health
that was check but we never had I'm
and adult conversation in this country about the problems
with our mental health system a hundred percent incorrect
there are a to very important bills proposed by the democrats defeated and
sometimes filibustered by the republicans
while them is a called the pete Domenici act the actual name is significantly
longer than that
but pete Domenici is in there great and that was a bill
that was specifically for mental health for
a the government to recognize mental health
akin to physical health are you view it as an actual
you know medical issue not just a distinctly separate issue that's a
psychological issue
and should be treated the same way in our health under health insurance
companies have to cover it
and things like that the republicans voted against it that is exactly what
you're saying to all mental health is the problem
great and what is your party vote against it it's as simple as that really
is a you know the other bill is that
significantly address mental health that the republicans voted against
Obamacare so I all we need to have a serious conversation anywhere you
who uses the conversation line there's a 90 percent chance that person is an
idiot
because that's the default thing you say when you have nothing of substance to
add to the conversation
what we need to do is have a conversation right because conversations
can change the country
now there's conversations held every day by all types for different people on all
types different issues
it doesn't get take accomplished how do I know that we're still having all these
mass shootings
what we need to do is something substantive something with the policy
I know radical they continue back to say than
numbers are using for Mother Jones or are simply wrong
if you look at any of the academics who gather data
is no big increase that occurs in recent years
were essentially is Mother Jones use different definitions to
you measure these attacks over time such a nice
fight missed a lot just to clarify
you are stating for the record the when another Jones with their
specific criteria I gave you when they say there have been seventy
shooting incidents in america worth four or more people have been killed
by a lone shooter in an outdoor scenario you are saying they are inventing the
statistics
I'm saying
multiple people have said that they're wrong in terms of their numbers
are you placid experts in this
are you prepared to say now for the record
that Mother Jones is simply inventing the statistics that these mass shootings
they have record in great detail which were published on the website
simply didn't happen is that your position II incident happened I said
that they use
different new they don't use a consistent standard
and so if way like a moving right here right now than there used to be
but there are more occurring now here's not that all
there have been me with me for you let me repeat for you oklahoman
all kamalo is great Piers Morgan obviously this is why I think this is
like an SNL skit
find agrees or disagrees is one in a second but you're you're going to like
alright look here the methodology of the over how they came to it
this is Allie characterize what a missionary is this is the number a mass
shootings
this is is always different information all the rim independently verifiable
information
they are not gonna believe it what you believe it well to other jobs
alright so a which one of these is not true well a lot of people say it's not
true
also care about a lot of people tell me which ones are true to me
it and I love when you actually in puts it you put it perfectly
and poetry poses the question so you're saying these are
correctly like well get corrected there is a strong term
it there with they're not wrong per se but they're just in third standard that
they use it does different it's a
baby would spare you read this letter to you when you're still saying is not true
but you're just wrong about that
now look but let me get to the last clip and then well
but turn the corner on this and I have a response to this
from a a little somebody wasn't Aurora was the biggest single shooting
in America by one shooter in sums up the people that shirt seventy people
this isn't a result in a few months later Sandy Hook became
a few months later was the worst result in American history
we've now seen the second-worst military base shooting
in modern American history what can we bring you know you're free
were committed by people well they're not gone Fri Jan dead zones although
John Locke appear
0 I
I hingis maybe base
was ongoing for years old come on
come on the debate over on that alone you just destroyed
any credibility that you had are you kidding me there were
corner there that I hadn't semi-automatic weapons
want to go here Piers Morgan even mention is the second largest shooting
on a military establishment
in US history the other one being what Fort Hood
0 Fort where they have guns all around them and they were what nineteen people
died in that shooting
you're not a gun free zone few talking about is the opposite of a gun free zone
yet impermeable to fax book
but the amazing thing about how idiotic these right-wingers are
I don't even need to go back in big up all the studies again like I was
planning on doing
learn a lot because we face this exact same conversation this exact same
discussion but not lol
and it multiple times with Aurora Sandy Hook you name it
and up bessie couples on Bill Maher show
and she said it's a fact that gun violence has not gone up in fact is gone
down over the years
well are let's listen to
me debunk that free 1982
0 mass shootings after seventy mass shootings
right and when you go to homicides and gun deaths
1960 there's nine thousand 1950 there seven thousand
today there's eleven thousand per year sure this study peace
the studies Harvard School of Public Health Study quote
or review of the academic literature found that a broad array
evidence indicates that gun availability is a risk factor for homicide
both the United States and across high-income countries cased
a case-control studies ecological time series any cross-sectional studies
indicate
that in homes city states and regions in the United States
where there are more guns of men women are at a higher risk
for homicide particularly firearm homicide
now look as much as this study either it's also the benchmark study on this
the Richard Florida study which has the same thing
you know for example Alaska has the highest more are murder rate per capita
and they also have the highest number of guns per capita right a red state they
have a lot on their lax gun laws
more gun deaths
