Again, you know absolutely nothing about me or my position. I am not the one in this thread that decided to make his position entirely transparent. So you can wear that for all I care.
I am not going to waste keystrokes explaining something to you because it would appear to be a waste of time. You clearly do not know the dif between rampaging white guys indiscriminately and purposefully killing complete strangers because of who knows what and the kinds of motivational factors that are part and parcel of inner city crime. Nor do you appear to understand the terror effect of rampaging white guys indiscriminately and purposefully killing complete strangers.
Two thirds of all gun deaths are suicides.
Safe to say we have a mental health issue.
Mass shootings are often mental health issues, the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are on some type of mental health medication.
The remaining less than a third are homocides which include mass shootings and homocides like gang violence ect.
The tiny percent left over are accidental gun death and self defense/law enforcement.

That means around 0.00003% of our population was killed in an act of gun violence.
There are estimated to be 265 to 300 million guns in the US owned by civilians.
