The guns that democrats have you believe cause the violence, decided to stop shooting people.

No, if you roll up on a party of six people and shoot all of them and no one dies.

That's still a mass shooting.

It's just not VA tech or Vegas.

We’re fine with mass killings, just as long as it’s spread out one by one and not in one sitting.

There is one coming. Need to let the inauguration and impeachment noise die down first. This will just pour fuel on Xiden’s gun grab.

It will happen likely mid February, maybe Valentines night when people are out ignoring everyone’s safety that way deep states gets a two for one.

yep, but the shootings are CIA/FBI backed. They have all the ammo.

If you're one prone to conspiracy theories, they haven't been too politically expedient lately. Now with the Dems controlling the presidency and congress, they are becoming politically useful as a catalyst for anti second amendment legislation that is much more likely to pass than has been the case over the past few years.

There is no set definition of a mass shooting. Many organizations use their own and it’s politically motivated.

In 2018, if you accepted far left outlets like Vox and the ridiculous Gun Violence Archive/Mass Shooting Tracker, there were nearly as many mass shootings as days of the year. If you followed more neutral organizations (and I use that term loosely) like the FBI, Washington Post and Congressional Research Service, there were maybe half a dozen all year. 300+ vs 6. Just a bit of a disparity there.

And which did the media run with? Remember all those “we’ve had more mass shootings than days of the year” segments and articles?

The truth is, only a handful of white people were doing the shooting and the ratio is even less today. It’s not politically expedient for the far left anti-2As. It’s their base doing almost all the shooting and killing.

The same people asking what happened to mass shootings would be the same people claiming a mass shooting is a false flag/staged event.

There have been 25 mass shootings in the US so far in 2021. Averaging 8.3 mass shootings a week.

A right wing mass shooter would’ve been politically expedient

What? No. That’s not me at all. I’m not someone who buys into conspiracy theories very easily. And that wasn’t the intent with this thread.

I was genuinely curious as to why there hasn’t been some random mass shooting recently. I can’t even remember the last one. Which is odd, because several years ago it seemed like they were happening once a month. When the controversy from one died down, another one would happen.

3+




Different sauces have different definitions.

Usually it's 4 or more victims, excluding organized crime and domestic violence.

I am going to say kids not fully being in school because of Covid probably plays a factor.. Does that not seem obvious?

It would be much more expedient now that the dems control congress and the presidency, as it's much more likely that such legislation would pass. With Trump as president and congress split, they weren't getting it through- it would be wasted.

Don’t worry Biden will have the fbi stage one soon enough to push gun control

Expect it to be an angry trump supporter shooting up a black church or something

Oh don’t worry, Dems are proposing new gun control legislation. Expect a mass shooting or two soon to help boost support for the new proposals.
