Overheal wrote: » Except the data does not show that the perpetrator of the shootings are the same ethnicities as the victim. As just mentioned, the vast majority of gun homicides go unsolved - a perpetrator is never identified. I could as easily argue as you (both of us respectively without evidence) that most of these black Americans are killed by white supremacists wearing blackface.

There was a short stretch in early 2018 in which there were fewer than expected murders in New York City and an unusually high number of murders in London. This occurred in February and March of 2018.

It was not an assault rifle.. those that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire. It was a semi-automatic – one fire for one trigger pull. It was the same rifle a Bernie Sanders supporter used to try and kill GOP House members playing softball. And no, the US is not a place where you have to be afraid to send our kids to school, fill up with gas, or be afraid to go on a family day out. Yes, this type of sad event can happen in a free society, but we are not consumed by that fact. I’d say most of us are much more afraid going into some of our worst urban areas. And it is beautiful, there is no other country I'd rather live and raise my family.

Overheal wrote: » So our mass shootings don’t matter because there are so many more other gun homicides so so what? You guys that’s the solution! Let’s make mass shootings irrelevant by encouraging people to just commit more one-off murders, then it will be statistically insignificant! Genius!
