What's the difference between the MSU shootings and the 22 people shot 4 killed in Chicago last weekend?

[MarathonMike]

The MSU shootings did not meet the definition of a "mass shooting", so why does that get all the press coverage yet the 22 people shot, 4 killed in Chicago last weekend goes unnoticed?

There's no difference, they're all dead to gun violence.

It doesn't fit a narrative, and goes against another one.

Correct...no difference.

Its just incredible that the right wing doesn't even acknowledge there is a gun problem in the nation.

I get you foreigners confused

Are you the canadian or the brit?

Either way this is none of your business

But for my fellow Americans the key fact is that liberals release gun criminsls back on the street instead of putting them away in prison for long stretches

How does a gun pull it's own trigger???

We have a people problem and not a gun problem.

Now that we know the shooter at MSU was a black man, the left wants to ignore that one, too.

We have a people problem and not a gun problem.

Other nations have people. They don't have as many gun deaths as we do.

Explain.

Folks will find other ways to commit mayhem.

Yet somehow they seldom have mass casualty events in schools.

Deadly gun attack at Russian school

At least 17 people - including 11 children - are killed when a gunman opens fire at a school in Izhevsk.

We have had news reports for years of shootings in Chicago. We never see reports of anyone being prosecuted for them. So, it appears that shooting someone in Chicago is more or less legal.
So.....the MSU shooter did his shooting in the wrong municipality.
If I was plotting to shoot someone, I think I would convince them to take a trip to Chicago with me.

Shithole cities run by people just like you are the explanation. Don't pretend you don't like and want the violence that comes along with the people you vote for. You LOVE it.

Yeah...

That you can itemize the violence in other first world nations...you're making my point for me. When you have to find it in Russia...that makes my point.

Other nations don't have "shitholes"?

 

[marvin martian]

Some do, but they aren't run by death cultists like your fellow DemoKKKrats. Stop the bullshit, you LOVE this kind of violence, it's why you keep voting for the people who make it happen.

Only an idiot would make such a statement.

Some do,

Somehow they don't have the mass shootings that we have.

Why is that?

Don't pretend that the availability of guns has nothing to do with gun violence.

Why can't we just take the guns from the crazy people?
