On President Obama Asserting that Mass Shootings Only Happen in the U.S.

Per usual, he's wrong. As one can plainly see from the data, the U.S. ranks in the middle of the pack when it comes to per capita deaths from mass shootings as well as the number of mass shootings. Yes, our overall gun murder rate is higher than most other countries but that is mainly due to gang activity and largely confined to the black community (the white murder rate in America is approximately that of Belgium) - two facts that the President tends to skim over.
