I know, I know, anti-gunners have to lie about gun statistics...mass public shooting data is just one of their lies....

Between 1982 and December 2023, 80 out of the 149 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by White shooters.

The majority of all gun murder in this country...not the tiny number committed in mass public shootings, is committed by young black males, murdering other young black males.......

The mass public shooting total deaths in 2021.....total?

43....

Murders in chicago in from Jan. 1 of this year? We are just now entering gun murder season by young democrats in chicago season......

Yeah....18 were killed in Chicago since Jan. 1......and it is only May...

You guys.......this school shooting was Christmas morning for you.......the young black males in democrat party controlled cities murder each other and innocent blacks.....and you don't care......they mean nothing to you since no matter how many blacks murder other blacks, they will still vote over 95% for the democrat party.....so you don't care if they kill each other in your cities.....

But a school shooting.....Christmas day for you.....you get to pull out your gun control wish lists for Santa Government....

27 school shootings in 5 months is described as "bad"..... wow. I guess the deaths of those kids was also "bad".

But dummy!!! There weren't 27 school shootings in 5 months! Are you that out of touch with reality?
An NPR article highlighting this statistic has been shared frequently on social media.
The headline, "27 school shootings have taken place so far this year," probably gave many readers the impression that gun-related killings in schools have been especially high this year, even before Uvalde.
Naturally, the prospect of 26 other previously unnoticed mass shooting events in schools should provoke alarm.
It should also raise eyebrows.
The problem here is that three very differently defined terms are being used somewhat incautiously and interchangeably: school shooting, mass shooting, and mass school shooting.
Uvalde was a mass school shooting; the 26 previous tragedies at schools this year were not.
he difference is significant. Education Week, which tracks all school shootings, defines them as incidents in which a person other than the suspect suffers a bullet wound on school property. Many of the 26 previous shootings involved disputes between students in parking lots, or after athletic events, and all of them resulted in one or zero deaths. These deaths are still incredibly tragic, of course. But they are fundamentally unlike what happened in Uvalde.

There Have Been 13 Mass School Shootings Since 1966, Not 27 This Year

Don't conflate mass shootings with school shootings.

We have 2A rights to fight against a corrupt & despotic govt first & self defense second.

OK, I'll see your .38 special revolver and raise you an M1 Abrams...

Maybe if you lived in a country with a right to self defense you'd understand.

I do. Everyone in the UK has a right to defend themselves from attack; they do not have the right to use deadly force in every instance.

Wrong because the people involved with drugs commit crimes against "normal" citizens all the time.

Do you mean drug suppliers or drug users?

So once again, you destroy your argument, by demonstrating that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't need guns for self defence.

Are you really this stupid?

Are all homes burned to the ground in fires?

No...

So, according to you, that means no one needs a fire extinguisher or fire alarms..

You really are fucking stupid.

Do you mean drug suppliers or drug users?

No, robbers, rapists, serial killers........and also, drug dealers, just ask the ranchers and people on our border or in the communties where drug dealers set up shop....you idiot.

Yes, I'm sure you have an Abrams sitting around.
The 2A is in place to protect against the tyranny of govt & spurious arguments to the contrary do not negate this fact

Both. Not to mention all the other types of criminal miscreants that live to victimize others.

 

[Vagabond63]

I don't, unless you count the plastic model kit I made years ago, it's around here somewhere. But Governments do. If you really ever faced a ruthless oppressive domestic government, your .38 special would be of no use whatsoever against their Hellfire missiles, tanks etc.
