Like they needed a study to come to this conclusion

"The United States is, by a long shot, the global leader in mass shootings, claiming just 5 per cent of the global population but an outsized share — 31 per cent — of the world's mass shooters since 1966, a new study finds.

The Philippines, Russia, Yemen and France—all countries that can claim a substantial share of the 291 documented mass shootings between 1966 and 2012 — collectively didn't even come close to the United States."

We're #1, We're #1 - Yaahhh
