    Yep...he's just trying to shake things up so he can (hopefully) catch a headline or two and drum up some viewers for his boring show...he's pulled this shit before.

    If you can get past this being on nationalreview, it is worth the read...

    A few things you won’t hear about from the saturation coverage of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre:
    Mass shootings are no more common than they have been in past decades, despite the impression given by the media.
    In fact, the high point for mass killings in the U.S. was 1929, according to criminologist Grant Duwe of the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
    Incidents of mass murder in the U.S. declined from 42 in the 1990s to 26 in the first decade of this century.
    The chances of being killed in a mass shooting are about what they are for being struck by lightning.
    Until the Newtown horror, the three worst K–12 school shootings ever had taken place in either Britain or Germany.

    THE FACTS ABOUT MASS SHOOTINGS

    In my country (Sweden) we have fanatical gun laws. Its almost impossible as a private person to have a gun. In my countries history we have had one mad man gunning down tons of people. (and he was a soldier, so he just took his automatic weapon from work).

    At the same time Sweden have more guns per capita then US. Hunters and home guard.

    This is evidence of that guns is not the full problem. Many other countries outside US have much more guns, but don't have crazy killings.

    In a society with hard gun laws leads to that only government people and criminals have guns. And the government are often no better then the criminals.

    USA is the greatest country in the world. It have the best democracy in the world. Don't mess with the constitution. No other country have managed to make it better then US.
