Obama's 7 Year Record of School Shootings

There has been a lot of discussion on the rash of school shootings in the past few years & I personally never remember a time where school shootings have been so frequent an occurrence. I can remember in high school seeing pickups in the parking lot with rifles & shotguns in the back window on the rack but, never heard of one getting used at school much less mass shootings we see today. I have however noticed the paradigm increase to a noticeable level since Mr Obama took office so I did a bit of research and found that in 7 short years under this president there have been 119 separate shootings some with loss of life some not but, the total deaths were a staggering 119 deaths. I counted back 119 occurrences of school shootings backwards and it went back 40 years to 1968 before I reached the 119 occurrence mark with a death toll of 110. That is 17 deaths per year due to school shootings under this man's regime.

The questions are:
1) Is there a connection with the rash of school shootings and our president's pledge to fundamentally change the country?

2) Has the racial division and divisive rhetoric of this man exacerbated an increase in violence in schools & society in general?

3) Does progressive liberalism & political correctness play a part in fostering a more violent America?

Feel free to double check my math.

I did not blame him (yet), I have given you a set of facts and have asked you questions, are you outraged by the facts or the questions?

This is like blaming the firemen who go to put out a fire FOR that fire ! Sheesh !

And if that Fireman Was the one who lit it? An arsonist? Did you ever stop to think that there is something to learn from this data?

Let's f ace it ; the NRA is a criminal terrorist organization .

A group that is designed to fight for your constitutional rights is a "criminal terrorist organization"? Is the ACLU also a "criminal terrorist organization"? Do you have proof, or are you just being willfully dishonest?

If I have the same sign in my face on my drive to work and I see it twice a day I will remember the sign and what it says until I find another job or get detoured by road work.

If I have the Ten Commandments in my face in school and on building facades (or anywhere else for that matter) I will remember them (even if only at a subconscious level).

When that "Ten Commandments" "sign" was taken out of my immediate "view" and periphery I don't remember "it" anymore. When the Bible and prayer were taken from my daily experiences I turned into a "natural man."

We our society as a whole "ditched" the Almighty we ditched our moral compasses.

Our "president" may have exacerbated the "downgrade" towards societal depravity but he's not alone in the blame.

Essentially, removing God from our "public" places left a vacuum that sin and evil were only to happy to fill...and Satan is a murderer from the beginning.

Maybe the "disappearance" of the Bible and Prayer and the Ten Commandments is one of the signs of the removal of the Restrainer (2 Thess. 2)?

I always wondered if this "Restrainer" would be taken away all at once or incrementally.

I don't think so. That goes for any president, though.

2) Has the racial division and divisive rhetoric of this man exacerbated an increase in violence in schools & society in general?
What rhetoric are you referring to?

3) Does progressive liberalism & political correctness play a part in fostering a more violent America?
Specific examples here would help greatly.

Welcome to the culture of death.

Seems so...

The left has promoted the culture of death for decades now (abortion, homosexuality, pornography, etc.), but the question is: "Why now the massive increase in school shootings"?

I try not to get involved in conspiracy theories, but in order to get public sympathy so that guns can be outlawed (or at least heavily restricted to begin with), what better way to do so than to show that children are overwhelmingly the victims of gun violence?

Great post, and very prophetic as well. I went on to reread that passage just now, and it makes me wonder if the restrainer was/is America.

Newspapers have been around for a very long time.

Nice try though.


No comparison. Newspapers aren't instantaneous. They don't have real time video. They don't use GoPro cameras and dash cams and upload to youtube. They don't have twitter, instagram, facebook to join like-minded people from all over a region or the world.

Nice try though.

I forgot to mention TV and radio.

Yet another liberal blaming immoral behavior on inanimate objects (although violent video games do add to society's violence).

Why don't you finish off your liberal crusade of a post and mention that gun's are too easily accessible?

Not the same. Feel free to continue disagreeing just because you don't like who's saying it. Do your research, there's plenty to support what I've just said.

rocketman's timeline may have more to do with internet technology than anything else.

Correlation with Obama's presidency is not causation.
