Dave - that is a terrible statistic. Stop that. You need to check out the source, the data and the definition. That was "FB" not FBI…
See what real information looks like?

Federal policy has not changed a lick in any way that has anything to do with that. Based on the above - Active Shooter incidents are certainly on the rise, 2012 was a bit on the high side.

Keep in mind - most of the information like that above is presented is clearly lies and deception designed to make a political statement. Those people wouldn't know a fact if it bit them in the arse, or how to interpret it (the real challenge). That post is intended to make you hate democrats. All that does is divide us, create fear and anger. What it doesn't do, is identify problems, causes and solutions. It might have been created by Colt for all you know to drive gun sales.
Mass killing data often includes extensive inclusion of family based crimes where a male head of home kills 3-4 family members (see mass killing vs mass public killing above)
When you REALLY look at the data critically - you shouldn't be much more concerned about this than you were 10-15 years ago. The odds of you being involved in one have really not changed in any sensible threat matrix.
You need to index ALL of this against meaningful normalizations such as "incidence per 100,000" population.
That said - being prepared is being prepared….so for me, to the degree that I am ready for the biggest issues, and that being prepared for a mass killing event is beneficial for everything else. I'm there.
But preparing for them because of politics, or philosophical disposition is just pure foolishness. If you really look at who does these things, and when/where….you'll realize that the majority of them won't be seen coming, nor will they be ISIS. So POTUS has jack to do with this. Repub or Dem.
God gave us great big brains to use. Instead - we decide that posting images of good and bad presidents based on political affiliations is important. I think God cries a little when he sees that. No love there - just lies, hate and division.
