"We as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries." —@POTUS

At some point "we will have to reckon with the fact that this kind of mass violence doesn't happen in other advanced countries," @POTUS

Re: Obama's comment on US gun-attack exceptionalism, fatal hate-crime gun attack took place in France a few months ago. Plus, Norway, etc.

Are France and Australia not considered "Advanced Countries"? Charlie Hebdo and a chocolate store attack…

Ask Israel, France, and Norway if they haven't had mass shootings. Those are civilized countries.

This is as ignorant as his "Chlorine gas not historically a chemical weapon" nonsense. https://t.co/asKpNGM4NV

Holy shitake, Obama just said mass violence doesn't happen like this in other countries. Why must he politicize every damn tragedy? Ugh, no.

I think Obama just said mass violence in America is worse than in other countries. If he genuinely believes that, God help us.

@washingtonpost That's another damnable Obama lie. Lie #36,672 if my count is accurate.

How like Obama to open his commentary with an obvious lie that makes America look worse. https://t.co/gOqqavu9bT
