Yet another, NRA enabled, 2A style well regulated militiaman target practicing....the new normal, I guess.

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any random 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors 300 to the Flu 250 to Suicide 200 to Car Accidents
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data. Very, very true.... News hounds have known this for a long time. Hence, "If it bleeds, it leads..." I am ready for someone to start bringing back insane asylums. There are a lot of CRAZY ASS people out there, and there is NO PLACE for them to go.

The 75 people killed or wounded and their families will sure be glad to know that it's not a problem. Thanks for the perspective and sharing those NRA statistics, Hero.
What would the numbers have to look like for you, cpa, to consider US gun violence a problem ? multiple choice :
A) 100,000 per year ( combo homicide, accident & suicide ) ?
B) 500,000 per year ?
C) 1,000,000 per year ?
D) 3,000,000 per year ?
E) 5,000,000 plus per year ?
btw, the CDC ( not the NRA) reported 14,542 gun homicides for 2018 and the 2019 rates are running well ahead of that. Is NRA ass kissing Trump 's hate inspiring rhetoric a contributing factor ? That's debatable.

There have been zero #massshootings in the nine states with the loosest gun laws. Mass shooters are mentally ill cowards. They go where the know the people won’t be armed, period. h/t @dloesch"

In 2016, a Republicans in the Senate voted unanimously to ban people from buying guns who were on the FBI’s terrorist watch list. The NRA fully supported it. Every. Single. Democrat. Voted. Against. It. Democrats are not serious about finding solutions

Why are we not hearing anything about the mass shooting in Chicago that hit 7 people in a park?
That's rhetorical.

The El Paso's shooter background info has already been manipulated to try and link him to the Qanon and Trump. They want to portray the shooter as a white Christian nationalist
These shootings are FALSE FLAGS, intended to frame a political narrative
Funny how these shooters all have poltical manifestos
Funny how the media swarms over all of these "shootings"
Funny how there is always a call for gun control afterwards
Why are these shootings so repetitive and similar? It's just psychopaths right?
Right?

I don't think there are a lot of crazy ass people out there...I think this is something more contrived it is literally the same story every time "gun control, gun control, gun control"

I suggest people watch this video: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm59WZMW2uUIt is very clear, that political forces are trying to make a mental link between nationalism and racism. (((They))) are trying to make everyone afraid of "white supremicists", it is the new boogeyman narrative white supremicists are everywhere (new boogeyman) Russia hacked the election terrorists are everywhere police are killing people Iran has nukes North Korea has nukes Assad gassed his own people Iraq has WMDs Terrorists with boxcutters leveled the WTC (and building 7 somehow too!) SARS, Zika, AIDS Iran Contra JFK how much more bullshit do you have to swallow, before you realize, "I think I just swallowed shit" Seriously, if you don't think there is massive shit going on behind the curtain by now, you'll never get it what is the curtain? Thats CLASSIFIED m.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDmDZi05dY

If you put a fox in the henhouse, he'll have chicken for dinner every night.
This is why we don't have a democracy.
