Mass shooters typically turn their gun on themselves as soon as there's no way out, so yeah great "deterrent" there. I'm sure the prospect of nailing an already-dead body to a tree will give them pause.

Astute point.
We all know, irrespective of races or 'cultures' or geography, which gender commits 99% of this shit, and that's why we "don't" have a masculinity problem that creates the gun problem we "don't have either". And the denial is part of that. This is a crucial point I've posted studies about in the past such as here.
This more recent article focuses on "toxic masculinity" --- which was also the keyword in a recent Gillette PSA on these pages:
>> Of the 96 mass shootings committed since 1982, all but two were committed by men. (Most of them were white.)So, just as putting down the gun problem we "don't have" begins with cultural-value shift, so that in turn must begin with assessment of what gender roles mean and how to manage those roles. It might be interesting to compare how many USMB posters were crying the blues about the Gillette PSA are also gun fetishists. Connect the dots.
Men don’t just constitute almost all mass shooters in recent history; they are also responsible for the vast majority of gun-associated deaths in the country. Men own guns at triple the rate of women in the U.S., at 62 percent compared to 22 percent—and also commit suicide at nearly triplethe rate of women. Eighty-nine percent of murder-suicides are committed by men, and most often include an unwitting female partner or ex-partner.
.... So, what’s going on? According to sociologist Eric Madfis, the male gender-mass shooter connection may stem from cultural standards of how men are expected to react to stress and perceived victimization as compared to women.
“Women tend to internalize blame and frustration, while men tend to externalize it through acts of aggression,” says Madfis, who is an associate professor at the criminal justice department at University of Washington-Tacoma and author of a 2014 journal article exploring the intersectional identities of American mass murderers.
This isn’t just because of how men are built physically. While it’s true that having higher testosterone is often related to aggression, recent research indicates that testosterone is likely a result rather than a cause of violent behavior. This suggests that societal influences probably play a larger role in violence than any biological factor. After all, our culture is saturated in messages—whether in the media, in our military, in sports, at the workplace, or in our education and health care systems—that embrace and even endorse a distorted view of masculinity, which tends to value and encourage expressions of aggression by men. Even those men who might be suffering from mental illness are unlikely to seek out counseling because it is often stigmatized as “weak” for men to seek out help and admit vulnerability. << --- Politico
Men are also the majority of police, fireman, soldiers who keep other people safe.....you left wing asshats have such a distorted view of the world it is amazing you can function in reality. Our world is a safer world because good men keep bad men in check...at the great cost and sacrifice to themselves and their families....
The left wing has "Reality Dyslexia." The problem with criminals stems from policies pushed for and created by left wingers...the destruction of the family, creating single teenage mothers running homes by themselves, raising young males...that is the problem...toxic left wing policies that keep men away from raising their children....

It goes without saying that it was WRONG, Pogo. No one is saying it wasn't wrong.

Ain't it instructive that all these wags waddle in here with fantasies of Mexican gangs, mistresses, this, that, as excuses. Nobody has the balls to say it was wrong. That says as much as our culture of death as the gun fetish itself.
Oh and then they immediately sidetrack over to their personal preference of pacifier toys made to do the same thing.

I know, but what I saw was that they all came in trying to find excuses with zero sympathy for the innocent victim, which speaks volumes about them.

Which is exactly why gun free zones are stupid ideas....since you correctly point out that as soon as mass shooters are confronted by an armed citizen or cop with a gun, they run away, surrender or commit suicide.......but with gun free zone policies, that morons like you promote.....the guns for saving lives are 5-10 minutes away....
Meanwhile.....armed civilians 94% effective at stopping mass public shooters or reducing injuries and deaths.....when they have their legal guns with them in gun free zones....
You are the moron.....you cost people lives....

Domestic violence crimes of assault/battery are the leading violent crimes committed without even taking into consideration when they lead to murder of the perpetrator's significant other and/or their children or to the murder suicide of both or all.
U.S. State Crime Rates - Comparing Types of Crimes Across the States
Black and brown people commit the majority of violent crime in this country. You think we should be doing sweeps of minority households and confiscating their guns first? that will save more black women and children's lives than any other action.
Another lie is completely debunked. White Rural America has now surpassed urban America for the highest rates of violent crime. Crime isn't driven by race. It's driven by poverty. The poorest areas always have the highest rates of drug abuse and crime.
Violent Crime in Rural Areas Rises Above U.S. Average | The Crime Report
Congratulations Republicans. Your economic policies have now produced a generation of white Americans who are so poor and so drug addled, that they have turned to violent crime because they have nothing else left, while 100,000 mostly white Americans die of opiod abuse every year. Well done.

The chief executive of Lafayette is the city-parish president (Lafayette being the Parish seat) which is currently Joel Robideaux, a Republican since 2011 and non-affiliated before that. His predecessor was Joey Durel who held the post for twelve years --- Durel was also a Republican ---- but the elections are nonpartisan ones anyway. Matter of fact the National League of Cities tells us that over three-quarters of municipalities hold non-partisan elections including Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, El Paso, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, Milwaukee, Nashville, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, San José and Seattle. Which means, DUMBASS, that when those cities go out to elect their governments they don't elect "Democrats" or "Republicans" -- they elect PEOPLE.
They do this for the same reason I keep hammering for you childish Ass-ociation Fallacists continually wailing about "waaaah, city run by Democrats" as if it actually means something. IT DOESN'T. There is nothing "Democratic" or "Republican" or "Whig" or "right" or "left" about deciding what your trash day is or when the snowplows need to run. Each and every time you pinheads pull this shit you look even stupider than you did the previous time.

Analysis | The surprising way gun violence is dividing America
In the most Democratic regions, gun violence is more often committed against another, crimes that probably generate more news coverage and fear. In the most Republican areas, it is more often committed against oneself, suicides that may not attract as much attention.
------
As the below charts show, Democratic areas (measured by the party that controls the congressional district) are far more likely to experience almost all forms of malicious gun violence than Republican areas.
California Democrats hate the gun, not the gunman – Orange County Register
Now that Democrats have supermajorities in the California state Legislature, they’ve rolled into Sacramento with a zest for lowering the state’s prison population and have interpreted St. Augustine’s words of wisdom to mean, “Hate the gun, not the gunman.”
I say this because, once they finally took a break from preaching about the benefits of stricter gun control, the state Senate voted to loosen sentencing guidelines for criminals convicted of gun crimes.
Currently, California law requires anyone who uses a gun while committing a felony to have their sentence increased by 10 years or more in prison — on top of the normal criminal penalty. If enacted, Senate Bill 620 would eliminate that mandate.
The bill, which passed on a 22-14 party-line vote, with support only from Democrats, now heads to the state Assembly for consideration.
Republicans and the National Rifle Association have vowed to campaign against it.
Why have Democrats suddenly developed a soft spot for criminals convicted of gun crimes? The bill’s author, state Sen. Steve Bradford, D-Gardena, says that he was motivated to write the bill after a 17-year-old riding in a car involved in a drive-by shooting was sentenced to 25 years in prison, even though he claims that he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger.
and for all those anti-gunners who want to know where criminals get guns....well...this law lowers the prison time for those who give guns to criminals.....
Why is that?
Prop. 57, for example, very deceptively and fundamentally changed the definition of what constitutes a “non-violent” offense.
supplying a firearm to a gang member,
l
felon obtaining a firearm,
discharging a firearm on school grounds

>> A Texas woman was horrifically murdered in her driveway while setting up a garage sale to raise money for her wedding anniversary - and it was all caught on video.
Elizabeth 'Liz' Barraza, 29, was outside her Tomball home on January 25 when a black pickup truck pulled up and parked across the street. Surveillance footage captured the suspect, who appears to be a woman dressed in a light colored robe, getting out of the truck and quickly walking toward Barraza's home.
The video shows Barraza appearing to freeze at the sight of the shooter and taking a step back when they approach her, exchanging a few words. Just eight seconds pass before the suspect lifts their arm and shoots her at point-blank rage, firing three times. Barraza falls to the ground and the suspect steps over her body and fires one more shot. They are then seen sprinting back to the car and speeding away from the scene.
... Barraza's family said she planned the garage sale to make extra money for a trip she and Sergio were taking for their fifth wedding anniversary. They were supposed to leave two days after she was murdered. <<
Warning: Graphic video at the link, although it is a long distance away.

Democrat policies.....
DC Won’t Allow Concealed Carry, But Takes It Easy On Armed, Violent Criminals
The problems stem from the city’s Youth Rehabilitation Act, legislation implemented in the 1980s to provide leniency to criminal offenders under the age of 22, even violent ones, with murder convictions being the only exception. It allows judges to disregard mandatory minimums meant to dissuade criminals, often to disastrous effects. The homicide rate spiked by 54 percent in the District in 2015, and 22 of the murderers were previously sentenced for crimes under the Youth Rehabilitation Act, according to an investigation by The Washington Post.
A man released on probation in 2015 under the law was involved in the July shooting death of Deeniquia Dodds, a transgender man. Just over 120 people previously sentenced under the Youth Rehabilitation Act have subsequently been convicted of murder since 2010.
“I knew they were going to let me off easy,” Tavon Pinkney, an 18-year old convicted of homicide in 2015, told The Washington Post regarding his previous sentencing under the youth law. “Nothing changed … They just gave me the Youth Act and let me go right back out there. They ain’t really care.”
Democrats in the ACLU, making Chicago streets more dangerous.....
Study: Chicago homicides spiked due to ACLU police decree
Cassell and Fowles have studied the spike of homicides in Chicago in 2016. Through multiple regression analysis and other tools, they conclude that an ACLU consent decree triggered a sharp reduction in stop and frisks by the Chicago Police Department, which in turn caused homicides to spike. In other words, what Chicago police officers call the“ACLU effect” is real. That effect was more homicides and shootings.

Detailed regression analysis of the homicide (and related shooting) data strongly supports what visual observation suggests. Using monthly data from 2012 through 2016, we are able to control for such factors as temperature, homicides in other parts of Illinois, 9-1-1 calls (as a measure of police-citizen cooperation), and arrests for various types of crimes.
Even controlling for these factors, our equations indicate that the steep decline in stop and frisks was strongly linked, at high levels of statistical significance, to the sharp increase in homicides (and other shooting crimes) in 2016.
Cassell and Fowles then searched for other possible factors that might be responsible for the Chicago homicide spike. None fit the data as well as the decline in stop and frisks.
Cassell and Fowles quantified the costs of the decline in stop and frisks in human and financial terms.
They found that, because of fewer stop and frisks in 2016, a conservative estimate is that approximately 236 additional homicides and 1115 additional shootings occurred during that year.
A reasonable estimate of the social costs associated with these additional homicides and shootings is about $1,500,000,000. And these costs are heavily concentrated in Chicago’s African-American and Hispanic communities.
More democrat party crime policy insanity....
No need for Tom Dart to be gun-shy on bail reform
Dart issued a letter Feb. 22 saying the increase in electronic monitoring assignments for individuals charged with gun crimes raises public safety concerns. The letter also announced that his office would begin an additional review of judicial orders of release, referring them back to court if individuals are deemed a security risk.
Dart wrote that since an order by Chief Judge Timothy Evans (requiring that bonds be set at amounts that defendants can afford) went into effect in September, the number of individuals facing gun charges and assigned to electronic monitoring has risen from 2 percent to 22 percent. “This population calls for additional community supervision to ensure safety,” Dart wrote.
This isn't picking up Trash, or plowing snow, you moron, the democrat party has a revolving door policy towards violent gun criminals...

>> A Texas woman was horrifically murdered in her driveway while setting up a garage sale to raise money for her wedding anniversary - and it was all caught on video.
Elizabeth 'Liz' Barraza, 29, was outside her Tomball home on January 25 when a black pickup truck pulled up and parked across the street. Surveillance footage captured the suspect, who appears to be a woman dressed in a light colored robe, getting out of the truck and quickly walking toward Barraza's home.
The video shows Barraza appearing to freeze at the sight of the shooter and taking a step back when they approach her, exchanging a few words. Just eight seconds pass before the suspect lifts their arm and shoots her at point-blank rage, firing three times. Barraza falls to the ground and the suspect steps over her body and fires one more shot. They are then seen sprinting back to the car and speeding away from the scene.
... Barraza's family said she planned the garage sale to make extra money for a trip she and Sergio were taking for their fifth wedding anniversary. They were supposed to leave two days after she was murdered. <<
Warning: Graphic video at the link, although it is a long distance away.
"An armed society is a polite society". Right?
Alternate title for the partisan hacks, translated to the language they're used to:
"Republican Murders Innocent Small Businesswoman in Republican-Controlled Red State".
Except for the suspect, it is a polite society. Don't blame those that don't do such things when we didn't do them.
I wouldn't. I blame the gun-fetish culture and the toxic masculinity crisis. As I've said since literally the first day I got here. And before.

Worth a rerun -----
"they shoot each other and their family members, and it has nothing to do with race or bigotry" ----------- and yet "political parties magically have everything to do with what happens in a ******* city". Having it both ways --- Priceless.
You are a capital MORON.
We are left to presume then that a "republican party-controlled city" (gotta go lower case so the knuckledragger can understand it), gangs would magically NOT "shoot each other" because republicans (lower case again) somehow pass laws against "shooting each other" and shit.
Like Big Bill Thompson did in Chicago. Oh wait, he didn't do that, he played footsie with Al Capone. That's why he's the last Republican mayor that city had.

And this illustrates the ignorance, stupidity, and dishonesty common to most on the right.
To seek to address the issue of gun violence in America doesn’t mean advocacy of more ‘guns laws.’
That conservatives attempt to propagate the lie that addressing the issue of gun violence will lead to more ‘gun control’ is as ridiculous as it is wrong – a classic example of a slippery slope fallacy.
Indeed, neither the OP nor anyone else has advocated for ‘more gun control’ as a remedy for gun violence.
