Hmmm...THANK YOU!

What your chart shows is that mass shootings have skyrocketed under Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama.

The subject is Radical Islamic Terrorists.  Not guns.

It did NOT work before, it will NOT work now.  Proof once again that FACTS and the TRUTH do not faze Progressives or the anti-gun nuts.  

And, like all their other failed programs, their answer is to double down on their failure.  If a program doesn't work, THROW MORE MONEY.  If the "Assault Weapon Ban" did not work, the reason is that MORE GUNS SHOULD BE BANNED.

Really stunning!

Columbine and the Charleston church massacre were done by white Christians ....  just sayin . . .

The fbi had plenty of contact with the orlando terrorist. They could've easily taken the evidence to a judge. I think it was the atlanta or charleston killer that the fbi should've stopped the background check but blew it too. Govt incompetence.

(CNN) — A man who attended the same mosque as Omar Mateen said he notified the FBI of his suspicions in 2014 about the future Orlando nightclub gunman.

Mohammed Malik told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that he didn't think Mateen fit the profile of a radical but he was concerned about comments Mateen made to him.

Malik, who first wrote of his contact with Mateen and with the FBI in an op-ed in the Washington Post, told CNN that Mateen mentioned Anwar al-Awlaki -- American-born Muslim scholar and cleric who acted as a spokesperson for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- to him and that Mateen watched his videos.

"He told me they were powerful," Malik said. "... those raised the red flags for me and prompted me to speak with the FBI."

All good point Pkrbum, and it appears the FBI did blow it. Personally, I think the Orlando swat team blew it too.  But the issue in this thread is gun control -- particularly of assault rifles. If Mateen had only had access to 5-round magazines instead of 30-round clips, there would have been far fewer victims.

How?

The terrorist was inside, alive and uninjured with hostages in the back for THREE HOURS?  He'd had time to walk back through the carnage, shooting victims he didn't think were dead a second and third time.

How many victims died during those three hours?

An Islamist Terrorist plans and executes an attack on a popular night club in Orlando.  An attack we KNEW was coming, especially after Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, and Brussels.

The response of the Progressives?  IGNORE ISIS.  Instead blame guns and call it a hate crime.

Just cannot make these things up!
