US Mass Shootings In 2015

There have been 22 mass shootings in 2015 in which four or more victims were killed, slightly above average for the past 15 years.

I'm not suggesting we shouldn't be concerned about these killings, but the sky is not falling. So why are we acting like it is?

In his first inaugural address, FDR said "... let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."

Obama ad-Dajjal, on the other hand, seems to enjoy feeding that fear so he can convert advance into retreat.

I have a plan for addressing this - the police should stop killing the shooters, the shooters should be interrogated by qualified, independent investigators, and the reason(s) for their actions should be addressed and corrected. And We The People shouldn't accept "there are too many guns" as the only (or even the chief) reason. This horrendous mess goes far beyond that.

Whaddya think?
