None of the 5 Worst Shooting Rampages Were Carried Out By An American

These days you can’t turn on MSNBC without hearing another heavily made up talking head bloviating about America’s culture of violence. Michael Moore got famous by exploiting and lying about the Columbine Massacre.

The talking points are already set. Americans have too many guns. And our culture of guns leading to shooting sprees. But the facts are different.

Of the 5 worst shooting rampages, only one happened in America, and none were carried out by Americans.

The worst shooting rampage was carried out by Anders Breivik in a country with some of the toughest gun control laws in the world.

Oh...so I guess it's okay then?

(The extreme pro and con positions on gun control are something else)

This is absolutely one of the most idiotic articles ever written. Next will be the Top Ten list on Letterman. Meanwhile all of the families that suffer from this tragedy will try to rebuild their lives as best they can. I am sure that they will get some solace from knowing that the worst shooting rampages were not carried out by Americans. Absolute lunacy.
