Midknight Review -- new and revised: While mass shootings may be up, gun violence continues to register historic low totals.

In 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 — a total of 11,208 firearm homicides. The number of victims of crimes involving guns that did not result in death (such as robberies) declined even more precipitously, from 725 per 100,000 people in 1993 to 175 in 2013.

Editor's notes: While the Marxists and Lefties among us, use "355" as the accepted number of mass shootings, in 2015, The FIB comes up with 160 shootings    . . . . . . . . since the year 2000 !!!

Turns out that in 147 of the 355 Left Wing total, no one was killed, and in another 104 cases, only one person did.
Contrasting the 355 mass shooting propaganda of the Left, the FBI tells us than there only 40 mass shootings, in 2015, not 355.

Another bogus number touted by the Left is "33,000," the supposed number of deaths due to gun violence in 2015. 21,40 of these were suicides and another 10,000 were due to gang violence, leaving just 1,600 deaths due to cop killings, mass murders, and, accidental deaths.

Now you know.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
