Mass Shootings

[Airbrush art]

Did a little research on mass shootings from 1993 to 6/2016 here is the brakedown:
Bill Clinton "D" 18 mass shootings
George Bush "R" 12 mass shootings
Barry Obama "D" 37 mass shootings so far, he still has time for more,

So the question is why are there more shootings when a democrat is President? Is it "THE MENTAL DISORDER" of being a democrat or maybe a plot to remove guns by the democrats?

Actually if registered DEMOCRATS would be banned from buying guns mass shooting would drop by over 90%.

Some factors are that unemployment is still high, and those employed have a harder time making ends meet. There is little money for leisure activities and people are stressed out.
Mental institutions have been shut down. Institutions where many of these nut cases should be locked up in.
We have allowed criminals from all over the world to food into the country.
Government has intruded into every facet of people's lives. Many of these mass killers may not have committed their crimes if they had been left alone. Not the Muslims, but American nuts.

It's very telling that mass shootings have doubled compared to Clinton's administration and tripled compared Bush's administration, under the most anti-gun, anti-2nd Amendment administration in the history of our country. Coincidence? Highly unlikely!

Its probably a convergence of several factors in no particular order

The Obama effect. Mixed messages enabling chaos, anarchy and a blatant disrespect for law and its enforcement under the guise of social justice.

The internet and technology as a mechanism to facilitate terrorism, lone wolf actors, copy cats, brainwashing etc

The decay and decline of mental health treatment.

I seriously doubt that there is a correlation between mass shootings are who President, though it makes a nice conspiracy theory, budgets for mental health aside because they can ebb and flow with any administration.
A more likely explanation for any increase in mass shootings is the media attention given to these events that 1) seeds such thinking in the first place 2) glamorizes it in the mind of the next perp 3) continues to explain to [terrorists] and others living on the fringes just how easy it is, with constant soft target 'suggestions' by association 4) societal pressures (students - e.g. Virginia Tech, Umpqua), etc.

In the case of Orlando, the more I hear about it the more I am convinced this has little to do with ISIS or any other 'group' and instead is the lunatic reaction of a gay man who was unable to come to terms with his sexuality, further complicated in that he comes from a stridently anti-gay culture which, even if he had never openly declared himself to be gay, bombarded him with anti-gay messages his whole life, invalidating him as a person. His declarations of fidelity to ISIS I believe to be nothing more than a cover.

The reason is because the now political FBI have changed he way mass shootings are defined. They made it easier for routine gang bang shoot-ups to be included. To help the agenda. http://nypost.com/2014/10/12/the-fbi...ass-shootings/ Mass shootings have remained constant or only slightly increased over the last 60 years under the pre-Obama definition.
