I am not a gun person but I think I am going to be for protection at home.....my luck I would be to tired and disoriented if anyone broke into my house late at night and I would not have a chance to get into a gun safe in time to actually do anything. I am looking into conceal and carry simply because people are too quick to anger over dumb ****.........we shall see, crazy times Keith, crazy times
Alleged Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner touted vile “white supremacist” views, according to his classmates — including that “Rosa Parks was in the wrong” and that black people were destroying his community. Ikner, who allegedly killed two people and wounded six others when he opened fire on campus Thursday, horrified other students with his “gross” racial rhetoric. One classmate from Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, recalled how he was asked to leave a “political roundtable” club over his hate speech. these are the devils we should be deporting to El Salvador…it’s these vile, disgusting trash that are ruining this country
It's about mental health. I don't care about any of the demographics of any of the shooters other their mental health issues because plenty of people need help.
To be fair, the post he responded to said school shootings not mass shootings. Until Democrats address the demographics address all shootings they will not make any progress on the gun issue
How am I mixing them? I specifically said I was talking about school shootings, not mass shootings. The post I responded to said school shootings. You are the one apparently mixing them. If you go back and review my posts, you will find I was correct every time, despite people dogpiling me.
I was curious and did a search. Broadly held, you are right. https://rockinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Overview-American-School-Shooting-Study-TASSS.pdf Key Findings on Racial Demographics 1. The American School Shooting Study (TASSS) This National Institute of Justice-funded study analyzed 253 school shootings (1990–2016) involving adolescent perpetrators: • 58% Black • 28% White • 9% Latino • 5% Other Caveats: • Scope: Included all firearm discharges on school grounds (e.g., accidental, gang-related, interpersonal disputes). • Accidental discharges (11% of cases). • Geographic bias: 62% occurred in Southern states with higher Black populations. • Non-fatal incidents: 58% of cases caused no deaths. When isolating targeted attacks (premeditated violence against specific victims): • 53% White • 24% Black • 14% Latino If anyone wants to walk on eggshells and couch the context, school shootings by black perpetrators are generally not some mental health issue and more of an environmental health hazard we as a society neglect and run as far away as possible with self segregating neighborhoods. White shootings are more targeted or mass casualty events where we throw out "mental health talk it out give a hug issues" as a way for richer people to feel in control as a solvable or manageable problem... This might be offensive. Should I include trigger warning?
Democrats are focused on helping young males. They however shoot themselves in the foot when only addressing guns when mass shootings happen. Conservatives are obviously thinking you want to make it harder for law abiding citizens to defend ourselves and you ignore everyday crime.
