do you think there has been a mass shooting nearly every day in the US, and if so, where do you think they mostly occur

By using the definition of mass shooting, I'd say there's probably close to 1 or 2 per day. Mostly in inner-cities, in low-income, high-crime areas.

A school shooting, mall shooting, K-Mart shooting, Home Depot shooting, loving garlic festival shooting etc is probably closer to 1-2 per month, I'd wager.

We're talking about the latter in this thread. So, what the gently caress is your galaxy brain point exactly?

That you only started to give a gently caress when the media-approved killings started getting released to the public.

A majority of firearms used in crime in Chicago and many other cities in states with strong gun control laws, can be reliably traced back to FFLs in states with weak gun control laws, based on years of ATF research, so yea

sorry, we aren't talking about those shootings

Honestly, the fact that the gun industry has to pour millions into telling consumers that guns aren't the problem and bribing politicians to not act on gun control should be a very big red flag.

Like, all shootings are bad, virtually every use of a firearm in the US is unnecessary. But the right doesn't care because the point only gets brought up after every shooting as if there haven't been more mass shootings this year than days in the year.

my point is that suggesting ways to deal with gun crime that don't address the actual majority of instances is pretty loving stupid

let's ban handguns and improve economic opportunity in the inner cities and then go from there

e- lol oh poo poo I just realized I'm not even arguing with an American, whatever country you're in probably has its own issues and I don't give two shits about what they are or how you solve them

Yes people killed in random drive-bys by accident is terrible. This current topic is about dozens of people being gunned down at a Piggly Wiggly though. Two separate issues, two completely different causes, two completely different solutions. gently caress off.

thank god www is here to give a gently caress

god forbid someone points out that the inner cities need help to increase their opportunity and decrease the levels of violence

this thread basically only exists for elitist liberals to hand wring about white people dying, which is why there was no thread about the mass shooting in Mobile

Again, I live in a city that has these problems, and have neighbors with family and loved ones that have suffered from this poo poo. For years. Only now do people loving care, and of course that observation is shunted off as chud speak, as if it couldn't be more ironic.

Starting from cities would absolutely be the best move, but that doesn't make you personally feel safer, does it?

More cops getting shot would actually be a huge improvement for those communities.

My dude you're a markov chain that regurgitates a couple talking points ad nauseum and have never had a thought of your own that wasn't fed to you 100% by someone smarter. Maybe try to bring something to the room instead of being the beige wallpaper.
