So far in 2015, there have been 274 mass shooting incidents reported and verified.

Mass shootings are defined as: four or more shot and/or killed in a single incident, at the same general time and location not including the shooter.

It doesn't appear that 'they' need to concoct such events as they happen for real with depressing frequency.

Well it's not working.

High profile mass shootings actually increase the number of firearms in circulation because:

(a) People fear that they may be involved in such an incident and acquire firearms for personal protection.

(b) People fear that firearm controls may be introduced and stock up in anticipation.

A very good indicator of the rate of firearm sales is provided by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The number of background checks carried out each year has more than doubled over the last ten years.

Furthermore, the only federal legislation signed into law by Obama has actually expanded the rights of gun owners!

The prospect of paranoid conspiracy theorists having easy access to lethal weapons fills me with dread.
