Second, the CDC surveys had no apparent relevance to the issue of mass shootings.
Third, the CDC surveys were estimates, NOT provable facts.
Fourth, the CDC surveys were seriously flawed. See https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalr...vents.html and https://twitter.com/RAVerBruggen/status/...0573913089
https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM Just like this study has never been mentioned by the ant-gun media, or this http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articl...aspx/21714
You forget the study was done to promote gun-control but the findings didn't support that narrative so it was buried.

stanc Wrote:Sure it is. The idea that it was a "possible mass shooting" is unprovable speculation obviously meant to exaggerate the importance of the event.
The witness on the scene had a different opinion: Zamora Quote:
(Later on, he heard gunshots and watched Day die. According to Zamora, based on the assailant’s behavior, he believes, that he would have shot more people.)
stanc Wrote:Certainly. But it's unreasonable to expect the national news programs to cover everything that happens in every part of the country. There simply is not enough time. The nightly news is packed into a half-hour time slot, of which 10 minutes is taken up by commercials.
The fact that most to all coverage occurs following mass shootings is both ineffective and biased. This style of communication has no direct benefit to the country, and promotes a streamlined nation that discourages free expression of ideas and diverse thinking.
