Another shooting
-
In 2019, mass shooting victims comprised 0.2% of all firearm deaths. Source: https://health.ucdavis.edu/what-you-can-do/facts.html
Here are some pretty informative graphs from PBS published a couple years ago. Source: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/mass-shootings-are-rare-firearm-suicides-are-much-more-common-and-kill-more-americans
Sounds like researchers have started using the term "active shooter" to differentiate stuff like gang/drug violence from gun violence directed at the general public. From the FBI, in 2021, there were 103 deaths and 140 wounded victims of active shooters.

My working theory is that you see an increase after 1999 when the Columbine shooting happened. The way the media covered it showed marginalized people that they could go out in a blaze of glory and get their faces plastered all over the world. Social media became widespread around what, 2008? And that correlates with another apparent increase in these shootings over time. I am hoping that these numbers will at least plateau now that we seem to have reached something close to equilibrium with the presence of social media.
The fear that is created by mass shootings is incredibly disproportionate to the actual loss of life.

It's so much easier to hitch your wagon to a ban on assault style weapons than it is to risk offending one of your core voter groups by putting the blame on the inherent gun violence of the inner cities.

It doesn't, but given the first part of your post, I guess I shouldn't be surprised
which is just vague asinine gibberish that makes you feel like a big bird.
wrong. The trans shooter had pistols. Some have had shotguns. You are just a bird's butt as usual,
...you're stupid sarcasm isn't ooing to give you much of a career or a life, if you ever start to have a life.
It's sad you are so antagonistic. Regarding your stupid post - just why do you "feel" that a monumental political win over non-birdbrains, in this case, an excuse to violate the inherent RIGHTS of about 300 MILLION AMERICANS to stop kids from getting a gun and shooting someone?
You "want to do something" ? that's a lie. The only thing you want is that political dagger against our 2nd Amendment.
and you are "so offended" ...bs.
How many children are killed by cars? etc etc? Odd, you refuse to talk about that.
But as I've said so many times before, and you run and hide then come back like no fact was ever presented to you...
you need help. Here's a link:
There are several different factors that can cause beak deformities in birds. These factors can include nutritional deficiencies, environmental contaminants, bacterial or viral infections, fungal or parasitic infections. Trauma can also cause your bird's beak to become deformed.which is just vague asinine gibberish that makes you feel like a big bird.

He could play football without a helmet.
How do woodpeckers absorb a remarkable amount of shock to the head — 1200 to 1400 g — for each hit on a tree? A football player, by comparison, might absorb 120 g without damaging his brain.

Dozens if not thousands of people with fucked up ideas exist. We accept some we don't accept others unfortunately we ignore some but canonize others.
All depends on the political and financial profit there is in it.

I think the term "assault rifle" explains the AR-15 pretty well but since some people struggle with the concept of "language", they should just call it a "military style" weapon and be done with it. The Ar-15 is the same weapon platform used by our military personel and special forces, it was designed for that purpose. It was designed FOR THE MILITARY. It was designed to REPLACE the M14 during the Vietnam War. IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE MILITARY.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-15
I'm not arguing they should be taken away from law abiding people, but if you can't even call it what it really is, how are they supposed to even try to come up with some sort of legislation on stem gun violence?

"Language", you got that right.
The letters AR, which stands for the manufacturer Armalite has morphed into "Assault Rifle", a commonly used, although wrong term.
When you look up "assault rifle" the definitions go anywhere from "there no such thing" to descriptions of a military rifle.
The "no such thing" crowd analogizes that all rifles can be assault rifles, as can be a broom. If I assault you with a broom it must be an assault broom.
Myre, Greg (February 28, 2018). "A Brief History Of The AR-15". National Public Radio. Retrieved November 20, 2021.
AR" comes from the name of the gun's original manufacturer, ArmaLite, Inc. The letters stand for ArmaLite Rifle — and not for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle.

The M-16 was designed for the Vietnam war, flip of a switch can go from single, triple burst or fully automatic. AR 15 is a semi auto that looks like an M16.

What did he say in error?
An AR-15 is not an assault rifle as you had stated.
What classifies as an assault rifle?A military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire -

meanwhile, woodpecker did his thing again - came in, raised stupid ignorant hell, and left again.
haha?
so, the anti-2nd Amendment fools used the tragedy to go after guns.
But.....they vote AGAINST a bipartisan bill to make schools safer.
What a disgrace.

Tennessee Democrats who exploited Nashville massacre to push for gun control voted against bipartisan bill to make schools safer

Don't forget, cops were there in a few minutes and multiple people still died. "Good guys with guns" didn't prevent shit.
Our country has a gun problem. Mass shootings. Suicides. Gang violence. Gun owners getting angry. Etc. We have a gun problem.
The most common cause of death among children is now gun violence.
But too many politicians are in the pockets of the NRA. Too many voters are giant fucking morons. Instead of putting literally any common sense measures in place ("well regulated" my ass), we just expect more guns to fix the problem. A uniquely American problem. Pathetic

I see you’re still spreading bullshit.
Abortion is the leading cause of death among children.

Again... Squawked like a bird... offered little in the way of intelligent problem solving... If Democrats would quit killing people... there would be no gun violence...

so, woodpecker, question (not that you have ever had a valid answer):
If these horrible school shootings would go away, if we BROUGHT GOD and PRAYER back into our
schools,
would you support it?
