    That would in the main be because Most people here have been white. Again however you should look at the FBI mass shooter criteria.

    And it remains a fact that the overwhelming number of victims of mass shootings are white.

    Really? I’m a latino immigrant, i don’t live in fear.

    And if latinos should be fearful, how about whites, who have been by far the most targeted in mass shootings (if you don’t account for the thousands of black on black homicides a year, which no-one seems to care about).

    Nor hould you live in fear. One is more likely to be struck by lightning while mowing one's lawn than he is to die in a mass shooting pretty much regardless of race creed or color.. To live in fear of a statistical anomaly is to be a coward, an idiot, or both.

    Blacks of course do not commit or are the majority victims of mass shootings. They are involved in more drug related gang shootings. Different category, and a result of the failure of prohibition. You are again making **** up.

    Hispanic people aren't living in fear of white people. Whites and Hispanics actually get along well.

    What the MSM and the political left does, they completely ignore "felony mass shootings" that are mostly committed by blacks and Hispanics coming into #2 place.

    The MSM only covers "public mass shootings" where a black scary looking rifle is used not mentioning that black scary looking rifles like the AR-15 and it's clones are only used in 4% of the homicides committed in America.

    Americans prefer handguns and Colt, S&W, Ruger, Springfield Armory etc are so Americana.

    If a gang member indiscriminately sprays bullets at members of another gang, the end result is the same. You still have to be a complete sociopath to do something like that. Motive doesn't matter, the result is the same.

    Of course the motive matters, as well as the cause. Comparing gang violence, which is a direct result of the failure of prohibition, to mass shootings is silly.

    Look at the FBI's definition of a mass shooting.



    The leftist cultural-marxist have corrupted the meaning and definition of a mass shooting to further a political agenda just like they did with the assault rifle and inventing the phrase assault weapon to further a radical leftist political agenda.

    I'm around way to many Latino immigrants and illegal aliens to and I don't see any living in fear.

    Maybe it's because I'm in California and Latino immigrants and especially illegal aliens have special privileges and protection.

    Actually it was the Crips and Bloods drive-by shootings using AK-47's that launched the liberals war against black scary looking rifles.

    California's first assault rifle / assault weapons laws were a direct response to gang drive-bys.

    California's first real gun laws legislation was response to the Black Panthers abusing their Second Amendment rights during the 1960's.

    Which are gang related drug prohibition shootings, having nothing to do with mass shootings.

    I’m sure there’s a point in there somewhere, but I doubt even you know what it is.

    Motive doesn't matter when the end result is the same. Rivaling factions of street gangs do not have to slaughter each other, but they choose to do so. You must be a homicidal sociopath to do something like that.

    The war between the Crips and Bloods was over turf.

    Which was kinda stupid when it's Hispanic gangs that fight over a zip code.

    When one minority of a fraction abuse their Constitutional Rights, the law abiding Americans seem to be punished for the actions of a minority.

    Of course it matters.

    Which shows that prohibition doesn’t work, and is the cause of said violence.

    Fear is a great marketing tool. Better than sex even. Everyone is selling fear. Democrats fear trump. Republicans fear socialism. Everyone fears cancer. The beat goes on.

    Good news is that fear is a choice. Bad news is way to many folks are easily manipulated into believing what the fear mongers are selling.

    Actually prohibition did work.

    Before the Volstead Act half of America was walking around in a state of neberation.
    It was pretty bad.

    Prohibition gave America 13 years to sober up and when the 18th Amendment was repealed along came regulations on minimum age to drink and purchase, hours of when alcohol could be sold and consumed. Alcohol percentage content were established.They even made is a crime to drink and drive in many states.

    It doesn't matter. The wounded need treatment, the dead need buried, the shooter must pay a price. It doesn't matter if the shooter is a nihilistic incel or a street thug. Same end result.
