    That's what Critical Race Theory is all about.

    Could you just imagine if the shooters were white and if they had on MAGA hats? It would be the absolute story of the century.

    White male domestic terrorism strikes again....

    They're "common" because the definition of a mass shooting has been changed to include fewer victims. Next thing you know, a mass shooting will be defined as two, or more victims, including the shooter.

    So, if a murderer kills a person, then the cops kill the murderer, that equals a mass shooting.

    Does anyone have the correlation between poverty and gun deaths rather than race and gun deaths? Black people are disproportionally poorer than whites.

    Being poor isn't an excuse. There are way more, 3x more poor white folks than black folks and white folks don't commit over 50% of violent crimes.

    I love the way they pretend to not know stuff just to call others racist.
    They can't help themselves because they have no other way to make racist claims unless they just magically not know anything.

    Also, Hispanic poverty rates are similar to blacks but their child gun death rate is 4 times lower than that of black children.

    The ethnicity of the shooters isn't the issue, but it is suggestive of the issue that causes these sorts of shootings to not make national headlines like other shootings- these are gang related, perpetrated by known criminals, using illegally obtained firearms. So its not useful to the 'we need more gun laws for law abiding citizens' agenda.

    Just more evidense to toss on the pile that gun control -and those pushing for it- isn't being done with 'public safety' as the primary goal, given these sorts of gang shootings (which make up the vast bulk of all shootings, 'mass' and otherwise) aren't apparently considered as relevent.

    Of course...and when that happens white people tend to demand the killer go away...preferably for a very very long time. They hold the perpetrator accountable.

    Idiots look to blame the guns and not the perpetrators. We have 170 million law abiding citizen gun owners holding approx 400 million firearms....and WE are not the problem. An idiot looks at a problem and says "lets blame the object!"

    When you deal with drunk driving problems do you pee yourself and cry over the number of cars on the road?

    You REALLY shouldnt use the word 'idiot'...it tends to come back to you.

    To the contrary...thats not the ONLY solution I offer. I propose social spending programs that would make most liberals blush. In fact I specifically mentioned that in the post you commented on...but you somehow conveeeeeeniently missed that part.

    You forgot a couple
    Wearing your pants around your waist is white supremacy
    Showing any data sets that verify 54% of all violent crime is from 13% of the population is white supremacy
    Pointing anything out from any Illinois gun stats like blacks are gunned down at a rate of 54 per 100K while whites are 6 per 100K is white supremacy
    A looped rope handle on a Nascar garage door (because one driver is black) is white supremacy
    Calling out Bragg for his incompetent indictments that are going nowhere is white supremacy
    Having hundreds upon hundreds of segregated black only government organizations, businesses, and groups is cool but a single white one is white supremacy
    Calling out Biden for is love of and devotion of an actual Klan member (Robert Byrd) is white supremacy
    Not hiring people based on their race is white supremacy

    There are literally hundreds

    WTF are you on about ? Stating the FACT that the local government has no say in state gun laws is what again ?

    FFS man......YES, local government has NOTHING to do with the state gun laws. Open carry is a bellweather to show that gun laws in the state are almost non-existent....

    But you do you ....

    NO. Open carry laws are a bellweather to show that when states have open carry that their gun laws are very little, if any...

    The disparity outside of the majority-minority communities in democrat run cities really isnt as great as the overall numbers suggest. The problem is there is SUCH extreme poverty in those communities that it tends to skew statistics.

    But your point is spot on. If we are going to resolve those problems there has to be a culture change and people have to stop mindlessly going to the polls and electing the same worthless piece of crap politicians they do over and over.

    I am worried about that, and it is the very prevalence of guns in our society that makes it EASY for them to obtain. I never said it was the only reason, but pointing out that guns are very easy to obtain because of very limited gun laws is just stating a fact. I am not, nor never have, defended those who commit the crime.

    Some just don't care. They want what they want.
    Look how they made George Zimmerman into a racist, a "white gun nut" who got off killing black kids.

    The end justifies the mean. Never mind that their fake narrative is immoral.

    Their shitty politics always come first.

    Note the qualifier "Some" above. Thankfully, this group, the very vocal progressive left, is a minority in this country. Americans know who is dividing the country and it ain't the right.

    Go after them for WHAT ?

    Yes, most shootings occur in democratic cities.....coincidently those same areas are the most densely populated areas. Most gun violence takes place in democratic run cities becasue their are more people, hence more violence period. Now show us where those democratic cities are banning guns. Federal laws guarantee more guns. Im not anit-gun, and never have been. But responding to a post claiming the local government should be to blame here is absolutely ridiculous.

    The Clinton 10 round mag limit created the now popular small 9mm handguns and current mega market starting with if my memory is correct the Gock 26 released in 94, same year as the Clinton ban. The 26 is certainly a lot more concealable than the 17.

    Yes, the media coverage of mass shootings always cause more mass shootings. But no one cares.
    WTF !!!!
    The media doesn't make people shoot others !!!!

    Again, your makeing a claim that isn't backed by facts. Are you claiming that we should have "pre-laws" ? Laws that jail people for crimes they "may commit" so that we can stop the gun violence before it happens ?

    Math eludes you doesn't it ? YES, the majority of crimes take place in heavily populate areas.....But thats just MATH
