If one Democratic Senator is to be believed, you should be very afraid to leave your house for fear of getting shot, as 372 mass shootings have happened in America in 2015 alone.
The good news is, that Senator shouldn’t be believed at all.
On December 31 Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed there were 372 mass shootings–or more than one mass shooting a day–during calendar year 2015. On the other hand, Mother Jones editor Mark Follman reported four mass shootings for the whole year and USA Today reported approximately 22.
What accounts for the jump from from four–or even 22–to 372? The jump is the result of Senator Chris Murphy’s (D-CT) complete rejection of the FBI criteria for a mass shooting. That criteria is four fatalities in one shooting incident. Instead of using this, Murphy has adopted the criteria of Shooting Tracker, a website which labels any shooting or series of shootings a “mass shooting” if there are four or more injuries.
There does not have to be a death, and the injuries do not have to be the result of just one shooting incident but can be the result of numerous incidents added together. This means Senator Murphy counts a parking lot shootout–like the one WMC-TV reported between two groups of people in two separate cars in Memphis, Tennessee in October–as a “mass shooting.”
Just another tactic in their long war to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Luckily, we’ve gotten used to viewing their stats with intense skepticism. It doesn’t take a genius to realize when our government is lying.

These mass shootings were Obama’s doing to give a basis for his gun grab.
How many people have to be shot to be considered a ‘mass shooting’? More than 1 is my guess. So a murder/suicide is a mass shooting? Any gang shootings with more than 1 casualty? If they lie often enough and long enough it becomes an accepted fact. DON’T DRINK THE KOOL-AID FOLKS!!!
Liberal/Demonrat is a disease!!!!!
