In 1963, Colt began marketing the AR-15 to the American public as a "superb hunting partner." Fascinating how for 35 years there were few if any mass shootings with either the AR-15 or AK-47, but as realistic first person shooter computer games advanced realistically in conjunction with reckless prescribing of psychotropic drugs to teens and the mass shootings started. Can anyone please explain why you think the guns that have been around for 35+ years are the problem and not the first person shooter games and psychotropic drugs handed out like candies from a gumball machine which coincides with the rise of mass shootings?
What is sad is you not being able to distinguish between some gang going after another gang .. and some nut job firing on random civilians. You can lie to me if if you like - and you can lie to others - do however stop lying to yourself.
I agree that motive is important, whether it's gang related, shooting your neighbors or killing your own family. Targeted killings is different than just randomly murdering unknown innocent people. Nonetheless the photo does force us to think outside our traditional zones.
Its worth noted that if gang shootings (like drive-bys) hadn't been added to the 'mass shooting' statistics to bolster gun-control pushing studies, that picture would be a lot whiter. But they did, so it isn't.
Don't be me wrong . I wholly agree with the OP premise that the MSM portrayal of these and other things is a joke - and there are plenty of really good examples of this. I just like to try to shoot my arrows as straight as I can.
Have you informed the MSM? Google mass shootings in 2019, here is an excerpt from CBS claiming more mass shootings than days in 2019, see what definition they use? Funny, MSM tells us over 200 mass shootings in 2019, you post a pic of them and suddenly, they no longer count as mass shootings, just like that, like ninja magic voodoo! There have been more mass shootings than days in 2019 - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/.../mass-shootings-2019-more-mass-shootings-than-days-so... 2 hours ago - The amount of mass shootings across the U.S. so far in 2019 has outpaced the number of days this year, according to a gun violence research ... As of Aug. 5, which was the 217th day of the year, there have been 255 mass shootings in the U.S., according to data from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive (GVA), which tracks every mass shooting in the country. The GVA defines a mass shooting as any incident in which at least four people were shot, excluding the shooter.
I agree with your central premise - that the MSM is a clown show - and I can list numerous examples if you like. What I was trying to do is keep the arrow flying as straight as possible.
Kinda the point of my thread here. Yes there is a difference in random public shootings and gang violence but the medias deception is effecting many people. They are simultaneously preaching two points "An epidemic of white supremacist killings, motivated by racial hate" (thus, they can pin it on Trump) and 'hundreds of mass shootings, just this year alone'. Yes, there have been several mass shootings by apparent white supremacist, but far from some epidemic. The agenda they are pushing, could very well spark mass shootings of whites, by other races. It is extremely reckless.
You're either color blind or have Trump derangement syndrome so BAD! that all you see is White People shooting people, even though White people are in the serious minority in that photo that shows all the Mass Shooters of 2019. The Truth HURTS! when it hits you straight in the Face, You're beyond help.
Who cares...One thing for certain....They were able to obtain high powered weapons EASILY...May Pepe the Frog can let that sink in
LOL...I can see that you are already parroting Trump's talking point despite that is zero correlation between video games and these killings.
geeze what fake outrage. Since when did you care gang members killing each other? You didn't, you don't and you never will. Y'all are just using this photo to absolves the reality the white men commit the most of heinous killings when it comes to mass shootings.
Not saying they are or they aint, but do you have any other theories? Boys in high school used to go to school with hunting rifles in their trucks, yet no one felt the need to run out to the truck and shoot up the school. What changed?
Here's the thing....other countries are also exposed to these same games, but their people don't go off the deep end killing people. In some cases it is actual hate, as in the El Paso shooting.
