"On the very day President Donald Trump declared a national emergency that is nothing but a lie, a horrifically real national emergency played out in Aurora.

Just hours after Trump declared a national emergency on Friday so as to defy the will of Congress and spend billions of dollars on a wall along the southern border, a shooter in Aurora k**led five people and injured five police officers. The shooter, Gary Martin, 45, reportedly was k**led by the police."

I've been thinking about this. Lots of people saying it's a mental health issue. Well why is it, that in Canada and the UK, they have mental illness and yet they don't have mass shootings?
What could be different in those countries than in ours?

Are you so shallow or uneducated that you believe that?

There's a serious difference between educated and intelligent.
You can be the first without the second.

For the sake of this debate, please list all the mass shootings in Canada for the past five years.

Stop believing in mythology gentlemen.

Just because the f**e news industry doesn’t allow you such data doesn’t make the victims any less dead.

And here is a list for the USA for 2018 only:

Here's the toll for 2018 only.

Total 323 events 387 k**led 1274 wounded 3 involving schools

Care for more information: check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2018

You might also consider:
Mass shootings in the US: there have been 1,624 in 1,870 days
No other developed nation comes close to the rate of US gun violence. Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every adult.

Data from the Gun Violence Archive reveals there is a mass shooting – defined as four or more people shot in one incident, not including the shooter – nine out of every 10 days on average

Now, do you think Canada and the UK even come close?

Speaking of lies: Over 400 b****s are shot dead in Chicago EACH YEAR; if Black L***s M****red, wouldn't there be protests, parades and TV rallies ?

Even I know he was not suggesting that, he was talking about the lack of outrage from Progressives like you about black on black k*****gs and black k*****gs in general in Chicago.
