Easter Weekend marred by "gun violence" in three separate mass shootings.

[MarathonMike]

It seems there was a mass outbreak of guns hopping out of Easter baskets causing multiple injuries and fatalities this weekend. It certainly nothing to do with the tons of illegal drugs being shipped into the country, the breakdown of nuclear families or the mental illness that is rampant in our country. Oh no, it's those damn guns again.

3 mass shootings occur in the U.S. during Easter weekend, leaving two 2 dead

Authorities in South Carolina are investigating a shooting at a nightclub early Sunday that wounded at least nine people. It was the second mass shooting in the state and the third in the nation during the Easter holiday weekend.

Do other nations have drug problems? Yes.
Do other nations have single parent households? Yes
Do other nations have mental illness? Yes.

Somehow they have avoided monthly shooting massacres.

I remember when Mass shootings were infrequent that we are turned on TV's to wonder how that could be. Times have sure changed. Now we as society don't pay attention anymore,

Introduction​

In the years between 2009 and 2020, the horrific scenes of mass shootings have haunted the nation’s collective conscience. Each breaking news alert floods the nation with grief and anger at this senseless, preventable violence. The United States is not the only country with mental illness, domestic violence, or hate-fueled ideologies, but our gun homicide rate is 25 times higher than other high-income countries.1The difference is easy access to guns. This connection is not just theoretical. US states with weaker gun laws and higher gun ownership rates have higher rates of mass shootings. 2

It's funny you bring up other topics.

Mental illness.

2020 Access to Care Data

www.mhanational.org

Access to mental health care (color of party that won the state in the 2020 presidential election

1) Vermont
2) Massachusetts
3) Rhode Island
4) Iowa
5) Maine (they split this, but Democrats got more votes so I'm putting it blue)

Bottom 5

51) Texas
50) Georgia
49) Nevada
48) Mississippi
47) South Carolina

Obviously this isn't just a simple case of Republican/Democrat, never is. However Georgia is more a Republican state, Republican governor, 8 Republicans, 6 Democrats in the US House, two Democrat federal Senators, but the Georgia state House and Senate are both Republican. And the presidency election in Georgia was won by 12,000 votes for the Democrats, first time since 1992 it went Democrat.

Nevada on the other hand is strongly Democrat.

Iowa is a Republican state.

However the trend is pretty much more towards Democrats spending more money dealing with mental health

2) Breakdown of the family.

This is a much, much harder subject. Mostly because it'd depend on what you saw as the causes for the breakdown of the family in the US.

However we can look at the states with the most and least single parents.

States with the most single-parent households

Stacker looks at the states with the most single-parent households, using data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey 2018.

stacker.com

Most
1) Mississippi (again)
2) Louisiana
3) Georgia (again)
4) New Mexico
5) Texas (again)

Least
51) Hawaii
50) Montana
49) Utah
48) New Hampshire
47) North Dakota.

For the most, it seems obvious that there's a repeat of states. Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, and how many are going to end up at the top of the murder states?

For the least, there's Utah for religious reasons, I'd say. Some of those states are quite rural as well, which is going to reduce the chances of single parenthood.

3) drugs

The Ten Most Drug-Addicted States in America

Addiction affects people across the United States, but some states are struggling more than others. Find out the ten most drug-addicted states in America.

www.addictions.com

This is going to show something quite different. The states with the most drug abuse.

1) DC
2) Vermont
3) Colorado
4) Delaware
5) Rhode Island.

But then let's look at gun crime.

Gun death and violence in the United States by state - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Gun murder rate top 5

1) Louisiana
2) Missouri
3) South Carolina
4) Delaware
5) Alaska

Georgia's in at number 7, Texas as 18, Mississippi at number 9

So what does this tell us?

Probably that this is a very, very complex topic.

That just because a state has this or that or even two things on your list, doesn't mean it's going to come out as the state with the most murder.

Other things. Urban areas, or especially ghetto areas. Areas that the government has given up on. The whole "in America everyone can make it" rings in my ears. Yes, in the US every could potentially make it. No, not everyone TOGETHER can make it.

The problem here is that you're dealing with people of different intelligence. Certain people simply aren't going to be business people, or they're not going to be able to get out by being a sports star etc etc. Some people are born into poverty and even working hard, they're going to struggle. If you become a single parent, it might not be your fault, and yet it's going to stop you advancing. In certain states that appear at the wrong end of this list there's a problem with race and how black people are treated by their own governments, by potential employers and many other things.

Mostly for me it's about ATTITUDE toward government. If people see government as just electing people to take the cash and entertain, then government doesn't work well and things get worse in society. When society is directed, and has clear goals, by the government of the state, and even federal representatives, then things work better.

Germany, for example, has a lot of different ethnic groups, especially Turks and Russians, and yet it tries to look after all people, giving them decent education, giving them decent health care including mental health care.

But guns are still an issue. Create all these problems and then put guns into the mix and you get the disaster that is the USA.

Easter used to be a day of worship

But in today's modern secular world, they don't have time for such trivial superstitions

Now they just have gun parties.

It's man's way of progressing.

Ain't it great?

Hell, inflation is so high we can't afford to change back.

 

[DudleySmith]

So what percentage of guns owned in the U.S. do guns used in mass shootings make up? Why aren't the numbers of mass shootings far higher?

 

[Votto]

lol the same tards who snivel about guns also love and support open borders, so nobody need pay any attention to the morons.

The Federal government is just a circus now.

The only question becomes, exactly how many clowns will exit the car?

The thing is, the car seems soooo small, you would think that many clowns could not exit the car.

It's endless fun and enjoyment for the entire family.

 

[justoffal]

Do other nations have drug problems? Yes.
Do other nations have single parent households? Yes
Do other nations have mental illness? Yes.

Somehow they have avoided monthly shooting massacres.

No....

Your samples are faulty.
You need to look at populations over 100 million to get a real picture. When you do the whole picture changes.

Exxxxxxxactly...

LOL

Easter is peep shooting time!

 

[Blues Man]

Do other nations have drug problems? Yes.
Do other nations have single parent households? Yes
Do other nations have mental illness? Yes.

Somehow they have avoided monthly shooting massacres.

Less than 1% of all murders can hardly be called "massacres"

Gee maybe if we actually enforced the gun laws we have on the books we would have less crime and murder.

Crazy right?

Crazy right?

Agree 100%. Of course that would require quite a tax hike to build all of the new prisons we would need and in a lot of places, states cannot staff the prisons they have already.

 

[Blues Man]

No it wouldn't.

All we have to do is stop locking up people for nonviolent crimes. We have more than enough prison space for the violent animals

 

[westwall]

Do other nations have drug problems? Yes.
Do other nations have single parent households? Yes
Do other nations have mental illness? Yes.

Somehow they have avoided monthly shooting massacres.

Yeah, they are either daily, or the government just kills them for entertainment.

 

[Flash]

All three mass shootings were Black on Black crimes by street thugs and gang members. That is where most of the gun crimes in the US takes place.
