A Guide to Mass Shootings in America | Mother Jones
I didn't read the Mother jones article in full, but did notice a huge proportion being in blue areas. Makes me wonder if they have all of the answers, then why is that the case.

Is that your answer: "us and those people"? Still curious to hear what your solution is for this problem.

Asking Me to read the Article will not do.
If I am a Muslim I might be ecstatic and envy and look up to what the Religious Worriers did.

It could be the questions are is this sort of incident more frequent now and are these incidents spreading to areas were there was none?

Another question might be is there a Trend of escalation or not?

I think so.

The bad guys have waged war on the US/World and we haven't even realized it yet. It is the belief of those other folks that buy into that invisible man in the sky theory that they need to spread their religion to everyone in the world. Anyway, from what I've read it sounds like we need to be invading Chicago with the murderous activity that is going on there. On a side note there were eight ppl killed Friday night/Sat morning in the Atlanta area because of vehicle accidents.

With all that said I'm wondering should the US be proud when, during these mass murder criminal activities, the weapons say "Made in the USA"?

I'm pretty sure I know what you meant to say, but even with the sentences reversed It still does not say what you wanted it to.

CNN tweet: Three of alleged attackers at Nairobi mall are from U.S., according to sources within terror group Al-Shabaab.

CNN is not the most trust worthy news source these days, but if true that would be an interesting development.

Maybe they have chemical weapons that Obama can influence Putin to destroy.

I though the USA abandoned Isolationism at least by WWII when it was found World troubles eventually grows big enough to have an effect on the USA.

iˇsoˇlaˇtionˇism [ssə láysh'n ězzəm]
n
1. avoidance of international relations: a government policy based on the belief that national interests are best served by avoiding economic and political alliances with other countries 2.type of electronic ambient music: electronic ambient music that is generally produced without beats, creating a soothing ambience with unusual sounds

Taiwan (Parts of the Panamanian Army bought from them) and Korea I believe both make AR-15 type Clones and sell the in the US. With out having specific info on the particular weapons used in various mass murders you cannot really say they were US made.

It would not surprise Me if China also makes an AR-15 Clone
