there's been plenty of massacre attempts in other countries where people cant get guns freely. The man in China charged into a school with a knife. Only managed to wound a small couple of people before getting arrested. And you know what else? He can't just point a trigger and kill himself to get an easy escape out.

See the difference?

Only thing that could possibly come close is one of those pressurized knives that deep sea divers use to cut things or kill fish and sharks.

And even then, those are harder to get ahold of than guns.

Most shooters are men.If you bring race into this, white people are not over represented in mass shootings based on their proportion of the population.

And if you want to play this bullshit game and assume political affiliations, should we do the same for homicides in general? Roughly 50% of homicides are committed by black people. Should that be used to shame or spread fear of black people? Should we speculate on "How many were Democrats?" since black people mostly tend to vote Democrat?

Are you really being so pedantic as to ignore the difference between single, intentional targets and nonspecific targets?

Are your also going to ignore police shootings while you're at it, in the name of pedantry?

Killing others intentionally is wrong and terrible thing, whether it's mass shootings or individual, targeted killings. If you want to try bring race and political party into one category (mass shootings) then why not bring them into the other category (homicides)?

More white people are killed by other white people than black people kill black people.


I think it's stupid to bring race and political party into this in general. I wasn't bringing it up for homicides because I think they're relevant to homicides, I was bringing it up as a comparison because I think it's just as stupid as bringing it up for mass shootings.

It's pretty disingenuous to relate mass shootings and homicides considering they're two completely different problems where one is fairly unique to being an issue in America.

@Bio1590

I agree with you that homicides and mass shootings are two completely different scenarios. I was only bringing up homicides for the sake of showing that it's ignorant to use the race or political party of the offenders to demonize said groups.

I think that if someone uses demographics data of people who commit homicides to demonize black people and Democrats, that these people are ignorant and bigoted. Do you agree or disagree with this?

I also think that if someone uses demographics data of mass shooter as way to demonize white people or conservatives, that these people are ignorant and bigoted. Do you agree or disagree with this?

The modern sporting rifle, based on the AR-15 platform, is widely misunderstood. ... The AR in AR-15 rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. AR does NOT stand for assault rifle or automatic rifle. AR-15-style rifles are NOT assault weapons or assault rifles."

Yep. Not that it matters, but if you're trying to make a point at least make a logical one.

How many of those shooters were white men with histories of violence or at least threatening others? How many were conservative?


Most shooters are men.If you bring race into this, white people are not over represented in mass shootings based on their proportion of the population.

And if you want to play this bullshit game and assume political affiliations, should we do the same for homicides in general? Roughly 50% of homicides are committed by black people. Should that be used to shame or spread fear of black people? Should we speculate on "How many were Democrats?" since black people mostly tend to vote Democrat?


Pretty sure most of the high profile ones were people known to be liberal, not conservative. So again not seeing the point and it hardly matters what a crazy person's political views are, but if you are just going to start using alternative facts...
