If were going to talk about "mass shootings", then context is important.

Gang land and drive by shite doesn't count.

Instead of calling these mass shootings, because apparently there are some folks who want to lump turf war type shite into that. We need to start calling them rampage killings which accurately reflects their true nature.

I did a bit of goobling.

Since 2017 there have been, I think 16 rampage killings.

LINK

So over about a two and a half year period, the United states has averaged about six rampage killings per year.

So let's chew on that.

Is six rampage killings per year enough to justify placing some sort of limit on the 2nd amendment?

The preservation of our constitutional rights have social consequences. All of them do.

Are these unpredictable and spontaneous killings simply the price we have to pay to live in a free society?

Apparently it's the price we have to pay for other people's shitty parenting.

Evil will always exist in the world. I'm not willing to sacrifice a single iota of my gun rights because of the actions of a few. We should publicly execute them and anyone that shoots up their own neighborhood as a deterrent.

So if deranged morons want our gun rights revoked all they need to do in your book is rampage kill enough times to justify it? Why not publish those thoughts, garner enough public opinion on your side to make a difference, then sit back and watch the rampage killings increase. By your logic we just need a few more mass murders to get the guns off the streets.

Why? Are black lives taken by black lives less important?
