List of mass shootings in the United States in 2023 - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org

Good work.
That is a lie....and you know it...
Nope, I'm just not out to define it down like you are to make the problem seem less bad.
You are out to lie about it........you are a vile scumbag.
Vile is saying that people killed or injured in a mass shooting "don't count" because they aren't nice affluent white people.
That's vile.
Yeah, armed guards are fine to protect your politicians, but not for protecting children. You're an idiot and a hack.Which side routinely rejects the idea of hardening the schools & providing armed security guards?
^
Which side enables the trannies severe mental illnesses?
1 out of 1000 mass shooters is transgender, and you're stupid ass blames that
Which side refuses to wait for any facts before immediately blaming conservatives & legal gun owners?
Don't act like you care about facts
Which side raises billions on the backs of dead kids they refuse to protect in the first place?
Lol I can't believe you don't realize what you just wrote with that one
Just saying what your thinking is.Who said that?
You are the only one here who calls black people "darkies," thinking you are clever....
Just saying what your thinking is.
I mean, you use code words like "Gang member", but that's what you really mean.
Ok I will ask again and type slower for you, so read it slowerYes, I did. You didn't like the answer, but that's your problem.
Only 2000 homicides a year are related to gang activity...No....I mean gang member.....

MYTH: Gangs are responsible for most U.S. homicides - GVPedia
FACT: A 2020 study by the CDC found that 9.7% of homicides in 2017 were gang-related.www.gvpedia.org
Contrary to Lott’s repeated claim that the U.S. has a relatively high homicide rate because of “drug gangs,” most gun homicides are not related to gang activity. According to the National Gang Center, the government agency responsible for cataloging gang violence, there was an average of fewer than 2,000 gang homicides annually from 2007 to 2012. During roughly the same time period (2007 to 2011), the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimated an average of more than 15,500 homicides annually across the United States, indicating that gang-related homicides were approximately 13% total homicides annually. The Bureau of Justice Statistics finds the number of gang-related homicides to be even lower. In 2008, the government agency identified 960 homicides, accounting for 6% of all homicides that year.
Wrong...that is a lie...you have been shown why that is a lie...over and over again....

Probably the best of a bad lot was the famous Arthur Kellermann study from 1993 in the New England Journal of Medicine. All the rest are even worse, but at least he controlled for a few possible confounding factors. But he withheld one crucial piece of information from his readers. He knew that virtually none of the people who had been murdered while having a gun in their home had actually been killed with the gun that belonged to someone in the home. They were almost always killed by someone from outside the home, presumably using their own gun, brought in from outside the home. So whether the victims had a gun of their own in the house had absolutely nothing to do with the event. And Kellermann withheld that information, and a lot of people noticed the problem right away. There were even letters to the editor of the journal asking “what gives,” and he responded with a very evasive answer in his reply to the letters.
The problem became inadvertently evident a few years later when he did another study with overlapping samples, where it became evident that he did have that information, and he knew perfectly well that people are rarely murdered with a gun belonging to someone in their own household.
It’s not usually domestic violence when people are murdered in their home. Instead, it’s more likely to be something like a crack dealer sells drugs out of his own home, and a customer comes in and kills him because he wants to get the drugs and not pay for them. That’s a little more typical of people killed while having a gun in their own home, but, of course, the customer brought in his own gun to murder the dealer.

Gangs and Violence
Armstrong: Let’s turn to questions of where crime is coming from in our country. How much violent crime takes place in the subset of the population we would typically associate with the gang culture?
Kleck:
In places like Chicago or Los Angeles, it’s a huge fraction of it. It varies enormously from place to place. It may well be that half or more of the gun homicides in those cities are gang related. But in most places in America, it’s a somewhat more modest fraction.
We don’t have national figures that are of any use.
For what it’s worth, in the FBI uniform crime reports data, they do have a category for the circumstance in which the crime was committed. One possible box that local police can check in filling out the homicide reports for the FBI could indeed be for gang-related. But the problem is that the FBI forms require police to check just one circumstance.
So if a guy belongs to a gang, and he was selling drugs, and he has a dispute with his customer over the price, and then they get into an argument and one shoots the other, that could go into any of three or four different categories, only one of which is gang-related.
So those data are useless.
What we’re stuck with are local estimates, and, as I say, it varies enormously from one locality to another. It’s a huge percentage in a couple of cities. Chicago and Los Angeles have really bad street-gang problems. On the other hand, in Peoria it’s probably a relatively small fraction, certainly well under half.

Youtube interview.....
Kleck on anti-gun methods in research, talks about finding gun use
Yes, and precious transition it was! Never forget Evelyn Deikhaus, et al. There are still questions for those of us with IQs above room temp: what are the details of this case that have been sanitized by Biden's nazi media?
No, i can just read any newspaper. And I have, for 40 years. You are going to have to peddle your con on someone dumber.You probably only talk to conservatives on here or something. Most GOP members are for sensible gun control. Sorry you’re so misinformed
~~~~~~I condemn violence and I believe this person was wrong for their actions. Please don't point fingers at my people.
