Biden's lies about mass murder
...
Definitive studies show that the 1994 "assault weapons" ban did not affect gun violence. Unsurprisingly, criminals ignored it.
Yes, America has seen shootings with tragically high death counts (although none at the hands of an NRA member), but it's fallacious to pretend America, the third largest country in the world by a wide margin, is the only one in which such tragedies happen.
In Kenya, in 2015, gunmen killed 148 people. In Pakistan, in 2014, gunmen killed 141 people, mostly children. In Paris, in 2015, men with guns and bombs killed 130 people. In Oslo, in 2011, a gunman killed 77 children. In Kenya (again), in 2013, gunmen killed 67 people. In South Korea, in 1982, a gunman killed 56 people. In New Zealand, in 2019, a gunman killed 51 people. In Tunisia, in 2015, gunmen killed 38 people. In Australia, in 1996, a gunman killed 35 people. In Scotland, in 1994, a gunman killed 17 people, 16 of whom were students. In China, in 1994, a gunman killed 28 people. (We won't even touch upon the trucks, bombs, knives, and poison gas used abroad for mass murders.)
There's one constant in mass shootings, in America or elsewhere: the gunmen target unarmed people. And as a reminder, there is no killer more dangerous than an armed government against its own, disarmed people.
...
What this shows is that more armed defenses deter this type of mass murder.
