Obviously mass shootings wouldn’t happen if nobody had access to automatic weapons - but that horse has left the barn, and arguing about “common sense” gun control is the same as arguing that a 40 foot wall is the cure for what ails us

There are questions that aren’t being asked here because everybody already has divided into their camps and they have all the answers

Questions like - why are there so many more mass shootings today than there were 40-60 years ago? There are numerous factors ....

my personal belief is that social media makes sociopaths of us all to certain degrees- some more than others. Then we have the mainstreaming of mentally ill people since the 60s-70s. Population centers are a factor - as we increasingly live on top of each other there will be more berserkers. And then there is the innate tribalism of humans. It is increasingly becoming obvious that we cannot get along en masse

But if we must insist that guns are the underlying problem then I say as always - repeal the 2nd Amendment or STFU
Bingo..!!!
Gun laws are "The Wall" for Liberals
a meaningless gesture made in the most grand style for everybody to see - to no great effect

:nod:

Repeal the 2nd of STFU
Start throwing Corporate leaders that hire illegals in jail or STFU

I'd have to disagree with CID. He's generalizing human behavior based on what's happening in the US while other first-world nations - all which have social media, the internet, and are even more crowded - have proven otherwise.

Not that other nations don't have mass shootings, but the alarming frequency here has become a uniquely American issue. And statistically, the shooter skews white and male, typically young.

It's too bad our mental health services and gun control systems suck.

JohnStOnge wrote:Guns are not the problem. I was just looking back at an analysis I did using 2016 data. I looked at the homicide rate by State and how it relates to various factors. I used gun ownership rate, percent Black population, and percent in poverty as factors. Yes I know you can call me a racist for using percent Black population but, I'm sorry, it's clearly a factor.

Anyway, when you throw them all in there is sufficient evidence to say that percent Black population and percent poverty are factors in homicide rate. Gun ownership rate is not. In other words: There is not sufficient evidence to say that more guns means more homicides.

BTW I also did analyses like that using homicide rates by nation. Not with percent Black but with per capita income and gun ownership rate. Again: Gun ownership rate was not a "significant" factor. Per capita income was. But not gun ownership.

The idea that more guns equals more violence is a false one. It's just not there in the data.

I bet it is - nobody else has as many guns as we do and nobody else has as many mass shootings. I believe that the country with the second most number of guns is also the country with the second most number of mass shootings - Yemen, I believe, although that may have changed by now.

Those are homogenous nations, Treep. And none of them have Constitutionally guaranteed gun ownership. (But more than a few of them are more restrictive with civil liberties - see Yugoslavia under Soviet control... before and after)

And in the Germanys and the Denmarks and the Icelands out there... their nutters are in prison before they commit their crimes (usually) because of the speech restrictions they have. Try denying the Holocaust in Germany and watch what happens. Those countries are becoming powder kegs although it isn’t yet obvious on the surface

Since you have an answer to everything - always - can our resident psychologist, military and international affairs expert, political guru, sociologost, economist, and scientist also explain why it's mostly white men going on shooting sprees in the United States?

Plenty of studies out there, but I'm sure your research is better.

Maybe you guys need to quit bullying whites then? It's all you do and it seems as if you dont like the consequences. There are plenty of gun control laws 25k.....start enforcing them. Even though these shootings are proof that laws dont work

You’re punting already? Disappointing.

White men are more numerous, commit more mass shootings, and yet they just can’t break into #1 in the body count. They are like the JSU of the gun murder world!

Can you explain why if you are a black or brown person in this country that you are more likely to be shot and killed by another black or brown person than by any other demographic?

Why are you and the rest so hung up on white mens’ body counts and nobody else’s?

I believe in June of this year.... (THIS YEAR)
52 people were shot in Chicago in one weekend

Now you might of course be suspicious of this number on first hearing it
but I'm pretty sure google will help anybody find the exact figures

it is not uncommon for Chicago to have over 650 gun related deaths in a year
if you remove the white people from that number it drops by 25-35 leaving you still over 600

The numbers are so racially disproportionate that nobody will report on it
it's too alarming and disturbing and destroys the old chestnut

But white supremacists...


They ARE a problem though - there’s a disturbing online underground full of them

And when they go berserk they like to kill a lot of people at once - they are sociopaths through and through

But on the whole, white males do not appear to be as willing to bust a cap as other demographic groups

Not that it matters. His supporters know and love the fact he's a liar and "pisses off libruls" despite people dying. The fact the FBI closed down the section devoted to investigating white supremacist violence says far more than any teleprompted condemnation could.

The blood is on people who support "gun free zones" and anyone with an IQ over 45 knows that. (This rules out 99% of the Democratic party and the people that support them).
