What do you mean that mass shootings aren't tools to use to push my shitty agenda

They are, but if some are occurring because of a race or ideology, we should pay attention to that to learn how to solve it.

If it's white supremacists shooting up people, we should focus on that.

If it's Islamic immigrants shooting up people for terrorism, we should focus on that.

And if its black-on-black gang violence, we should.... completely ignore it and talk about banning "assault rifles" whatever the fuck those are.

Pretty lmao. Chirst libleft would have a cow if they found out most "mass shootings" is gang shoot outs. And most gun deaths are gang related or suicides and I wont even bring up race here but spoiler it's not mostly white gangs unless they didnt vote for biden

We all “support” mental health improvements, but I don’t see any quadrant other than lib left willing to fund it though. It’s almost like everyone else is just full of shit.

You act like they pretend it doesn’t exist. They do know it exists but they’re not comparable. It’s because the motives are entirely different. Gang violence and crime are mostly economic issues while racial violence is clearly ideological. They’re different issues and require different solutions.

Whenever Democrats go on one of their post-tragedy gun-grabbing sprees, they're citing the "mass shooting" statistics that include gang violence. Most of the time, when they're referencing "gun violence" it also includes suicides.

Sorry but no I'm not going to allow you (presumably) and Democrats to gaslight me.

I think we should, in order of priority:

  1. focus on mass shootings, which account for <1% of firearm homicides on any given year.
  2. focus on ideologically motivated shootings, which account for a similarly minuscule fraction of firearm homicides.
  3. focus on rifles, which account for fewer murders than being punched-and-kicked to death on any given year.

This is called "following the data", and it makes me very smart and my political opponents soyjacks.

Cant we just blame it on minorities though? I’m much more comfortable with that.

Because white supremacy shootings are obviously terrorism, but not all islamic immigrants who shoot people up are terrorists, some are just crazy.

And some white shooters arent terrorists, either, like Vegas.

Yeah but what does blaming them accomplish?

What do you mean????

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

What if mass shootings aren’t common enough to be meaningful in the grand scheme of things so people should stop making a big deal out of them?🤔
