Interesting use of stats, Norway I think has only had one mass shooting.
Once. Anders the Nazi, who shot up the kids at lefty camp.
Low population, makes the figures look high.

but isn't that the whole purpose of statistics? To prove what ever agenda you are pushing.

At least that is what liberals do with them.

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent's point.

Yes, perhaps.
However, the stats are being used to avoid talking about how many of your kids are getting killed in your schools, by in many cases, legally owned weapons.
Doesn't matter who pushes what, you're doing nothing to sort the issue.
Frankly, I think it is getting to the point the rest of the world now looks on in bemusement, rather than horror.
