MASS SHOOTINGS PER CAPITA

*AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE THE MOST MASS SHOOTINGS*
                      *LIBERAL MASSAGING THE TRUTH AGAIN*
 A study of global mass-shooting incidents from 2009 to 2015 by the Crime Prevention Research Center, headed by economist John Lott, shows the U.S. doesn't lead the world in mass shootings. In fact, it doesn't even make the top 10, when measured by death rate per million population from mass public shootings.

So who is on tops?

No.1 Norway, with a mass shooting death rate of 1.888 per million
No. 2 is Serbia, at just 0.381
No.3  France at 0.347,
No.4 Macedonia at 0.337, and
No.5 Albania at 0.206.
No.6 Slovakia,
No.7 Finland,
No.8 Belgium,
No.9 Czech Republic
*No.10 Then comes the U.S., at No. 11, with a death rate of 0.089.*

 27% more casualties from 2009 to 2015 per mass shooting incident in the European Union than in the U.S.

"There were 16 cases where at least 15 people were killed," the study said. "Out of those cases, four were in the United States, two in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom."

"But the U.S. has a population four times greater than Germany's and five times the U.K.'s, so *on a per-capita basis the U.S. ranks low in comparison* — actually, those two countries would have had a frequency of attacks 1.96 (Germany) and 2.46 (UK) times higher."

Yes, the U.S. rate is still high, and nothing to be proud of. But it's not the highest in the developed world. Not by a long shot.
