Lewiston, Maine Mass Shooting

[sailfish]

The AR-style weapon was designed originally for hunting human beings.

Lmfao. What a drama queen.

That is my source. Mass shooting as defined by the Rockefeller institute is what the left uses to justify a sporting rifle ban. We aren't allowed to talk about inner-city gang violence.

Indeed. I watch a lot of left-wing news media and they always make sure to include all gang and inner city mass shootings in the numbers they cite without saying so. Really pumps up the numbers and makes it sound like angry white men are responsible for all of them.

Stronger gun laws for all.

Most mass shooters have been white males. Half of the 36 deadliest mass shootings in the last 120 years of American history have occurred in the last decade. The AR-style weapon was designed originally for hunting human beings. We need strict laws on who can own them, same as tighter licensing requirements for fully-auto weapons.

Liars, damn liars, and statisticians. Just over 54% of mass shooters are white. That's a majority, not most. And that's from a population percentage that's five times the size of the black population. And mass shootings are a fraction of total murders, which blacks commit 52% of the total yet their population percentage is less than 13%. And most of those are committed by black males who are 6% of the population.

This isn't to slam all blacks. It's just the reality.

Only when certain types of mass shootings are excluded from the count.

"DEFINITION:

A mass shooting is an incident of targeted violence carried out by one or more shooters at one or more public or populated locations. Multiple victims (both injuries and fatalities) are associated with the attack, and both the victims and location(s) are chosen either at random or for their symbolic value. The event occurs within a single 24-hour period, though most attacks typically last only a few minutes. The motivation of the shooting must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity."

Good Black folk fall victim to these Black thugs far too often. David Dorn comes to mind.

You have a good point. The White % should drop when all types are included.

People or groups with certain interests don't have to lie outright if they can merely exclude key facts.

Most murderers are black males.

Most murderers are black males.

Agreed. That’s not disputed, is it?

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Tell you what, we'll give up all our weapons when the government removes all illegal immigrants, and brings back bail and prosecutes and imprisons all arrested and convicted criminals.

Maybe you will.

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Put down the guns and pick up a joint !

you.

 

[UnionStrong]

Maybe you will.

Nope

We? You got a mouse in your pocket?

A majority is different than most.

A majority is different than most.

Meh, semantics at that point. Most vs. majority is by far the least important debate in this thread.

Imagine what the numbers would be if they could hit the broad side of a barn.

54% is a majority. 80-90% is most. Or thereabouts. I said the same thing for Next Day Err. Trying to be consistent.

So why are you obsessing about white mass shooters with "assault weapons", when they represent a tiny fraction of murders?

If you actually cared about reducing murders you would be on here pushing to ban handguns.

You don't actually care.
You're an NPC parroting today's approved narrative.
