It's not filtered by location but be my guest if you want to sort through the data. I should mention that it's a crowd sourced database because, as the site mentions, the CDC isn't allowed to do any research on gun violence, its causes or its impact (thank you NRA lobbying and your generous bribes campaign contributions).

I should note that most of the British panel shows I watch are currently off the air so I haven't had a good laugh in a while. With that in mind I would absolutely love to see what sources you can conjure up that say the forced euthanasia is even remotely a problem in the Netherlands.

The credibility of this is suspect when they say the CDC doesn't keep statistics on gun violence.  That's absolute crap.  The CDC does one of the better jobs of aggregating the data and providing additional detail about the gun deaths including suicide, accidental, etc...

Feel free to look at the research "not" done by the CDC on their own website.

To directly quote the website: "At this point (December 2015) Congress has effectively blocked the CDC from researching the underlying causes of gun violence."

While my paraphrasing is not accurate (I've edited my post now), that statement is completely accurate. The CDC collects data what happens, it's banned from researching why it happens.

Either way in a few months or even weeks someone is going to walk into another school and blow another dozen or so kids away and you lot get to repeat your pathetic little fantasy where you could have saved them all if only you had been there with your gun.

There was a school shooting in Maryland last week.  An armed resource officer put a quick end to it before the shooter had a chance to do more harm.  That story has gotten almost no play in the media because it doesn't serve their narrative.

There's an entire thread in this very forum with multiple links to major news organizations covering that event including it being the top story for the day. No, it wasn't covered as much as the Parkland shooting but then again, its impact was much smaller. With news these days there is a simple saying "if it bleeds, it leads".
