Opinion
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Have you noticed that only mass shooting where an AR patterned firearm is used are the only ones covered by the fake news, like CNN? The purpose of bending the coverage of shootings of all types is to move public opinion. Gun control is a political tool to scare suburban white women to vote for Democrats.
Here are the actual numbers and statistics for mass shooting in the US from 1998 through 2018.
Here are the three big TRUTHS the left is lying about.
- 78% of mass shooting do NOT use an “Assault Rifle”
- As a Percentage of the population, whites, and Hispanics are the LEAST likely to do a mass shooting.
- Gun Control laws have NO effect on mass shootings.
Only 15 of the 67 events involved an “AR patterned” firearm; they are used in less than 22% of mass shootings. Only 22% of all mass shooting used AR style rifles.
As a Percentage of the population, most shooters are of middle eastern descent.
As a percentage of the population, White and Hispanic are the least likely to commit a mass shooting.
The real issue is the ratio of mass shootings to population.
The actual percentage of the population in the US from the middle east is remarkably small. Their participation in mass shooting dwarfs all other groups.
Gun Laws Have No Effect On Mass Shootings
California and Florida both have the greatest number of mass shootings (6 each). The State, with the most restrictive gun laws and the State with the most open gun laws both suffered the same number of mass killings. Exclude the Pulse Night Club shooting, and CA has more casualties than Florida too.
So the left lies about mass shootings. Liberal politicians lie about mass shootings. Why do they lie? To scare suburban white women (who voted 51% for Trump) to be scared enough to vote against their interests and elect a Democrat.
I’d like to thank the Crime Prevention Center and Dr. John Lott for making the raw statistics available. If you have an opportunity, you can donate to them to help keep the facts and truth available to the common citizen. The left is entitled to its own opinion, not it’s own facts.

What? This article is definitely written by a white man. LMFAOO.. Almost all mass killings in America are committed by the so called white man . You’re feelings just got hurt, you’ll be alright. Almost every single insane mass shooting story about white men going in schools, churches, malls etc and murdering innocent people are committed by white men, and Hispanics rarely commit these crimes. Hispanics are black so stfu
You fell into another trap: “78% of mass shooting do NOT use an “Assault Rifle””
100% of mass shootings do NOT involve an assault rifle, which happens to be select-fire. You probably meant “assault weapon,” which only has meaning in a relatively few jurisdictions.
Imagine that the liberals lie!
I question why the Middle Eastern share of population changed from 0% to 1% (which caused the total percentages to go from the expected 100% to 101%). I suspect that this was done so that the outrageous 8.7 ratio had a basis. But manipulation of stats always will throw doubt on so-called “findings.” This problem could have been avoided if the table, instead, had shown percentages to the nearest tenth.
You are expecting progressives and leftists to base their “solutions” in truth? I have a bridge in Brooklyn…………………..
You fell right into the fake news anti gun useful idiots trap. There is no such thing as the fake news term “gun control”. There is the communist democrat disarm law abiding citizens plan. And there is crime control. But crime control deals 99% primarily with democrats committing crimes using guns, so the fake news useful idiots won’t be reporting that! Also not reported is the fact that 99.9% of not quite “mass shootings” are committed by communist democrat criminals! Own the language! Use NO terminology being perpetrated by the communist democrats!
