Crime Study Debunks Mass Shooting Myths - Leah Barkoukis
Even more sadly, it seems that we can't really do much about them...
On the Townhall.com website, Leah Barkoukis has the details on mass shooting myths:
"Are mass shootings really on the rise in America? Will an increased focus on mental health help prevent mass murders? Would expanded background checks really make a difference? The answer to all of these questions, according to author and Northeastern University criminology professor James Alan Fox, is no. In the study, 'Mass Shootings in America: Moving Beyond Newtown,' Fox and coauthor Monica DeLateur, analyzed research and important statistics to debunk many common myths surrounding mass shootings"
