In fact, most mass shootings (4 or more victims) are perpetrated by young black men against other young black men and they happen every single weekend all over the country. Mass school shootings are relatively rare.

What's your source here? Statista says ~53% of US mass shootings are perpetrated by white men.

It should be understood there is no agreed-upon definition of mass shooting.

Mass-shootings.info uses the Wiki definition of 4 victims in one location. You can also track all these instances on Wiki and each of them are linked to local news stories.

Mass-shootings.info IтАЩm not sure why they have not updated 2023 data. Each thumbnail links to a local news story. The most recent data they have is from 2022 which is 424 mass shootings, 71% of which were committed by blacks, 14% by Latinos, 14% by whites, and one percent by Asians. 56% of mass shootings in 2022 had no known suspect.

Yes, Austin. Inner city gangs and deranged people who can buy on the open market weapons meant to attack enemy platoons are exactly equivalent.

Our gun problem, as the commenter above asserted, is not тАЬwhite, home grown, MAGA-leaning, gun-loving lone-wolves.тАЭ Neither is it the fairly rare school shootings, data shows it is young black men shooting other young black men and often innocents in strollers.

Our gun problem would appear to be too easy access to too damn many guns.

That's what connects all the fun groups together.

ItтАЩs likely due to rampant fatherlessness among young black men and all the pathologies that inevitably follow.

I recommend going back and re-reading the 7 things not to do, because clearly you didn't read for comprehension. So, maybe...stop while you are behind?

Data shows that the claim of hun violence by white MAGAs, whatever that means, is false. Pretty sure I read that claim right.
