5 Worst/Recent USA Mass Murders (with a Firearm) Came from Democrats By Clash Daily / 18 January 2013 The source of information for this news post came from Roger Hedgecock’s 1/17/13 radio show. Here’s the link. Fast forward to 21:13 for Roger’s comments. The five worst mass killings, where a firearm was used, have a common thread. Hint #1: They didn’t belong to the NRA. They don’t fit the stereotype of the “red-neck” gun owner. Check it out … Ft Hood: Registered Democrat/Muslim. Columbine: Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals. Virginia Tech: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff. Colorado Theater: Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal. Connecticut School Shooter: Registered Democrat; hated Christians. Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats. Also, of the worst killings in the last several decades, only one was a female, all the rest were boys, barely men. Their role models were rappers, action movies, comics and violent video games. Our problem isn’t weapons, it’s boys without boundaries. Who live in ‘progressive’ households. - via Macho Slavich [facebook] h/t S. A. Lachut Read more: clashdaily.com Get more Clash on ClashDaily.com, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Hi bentway; Re: "Actually, murder by rifle is about equal to death by knife." We can disagree about opinions but we should agree about facts. Here's the 2011 FBI's US statistics for instrument used to cause death by murder from the official US FBI website: Rifles: 323 Knives or cutting instruments: 1694 fbi.gov When you're just absolutely completely, not even close to being right about a disputed fact, you really need to take a very hard look at where you're getting your information. Maybe it's not as unbiased as you think it is. Maybe there are some other things you're wrong about. Maybe some of your conclusions are wrong. It's human nature to believe the people who tell you things that you think are true. This is called "confirmation bias". It is human nature and is a part of all peoples, right wing or left. You need to recognize it in yourself when it happens, God knows everyone is willing to recognize it when they see it on the other side. -- Carl P.S.
