Are you saying that we should have Allowlists vs. Denylists for types of gun violence that are acceptable? This seems to be the fundamental premise upon which we disagree....
From my POV, intention is immaterial because there are no 'good' gun deaths, so splitting hairs has no values.
It sounds to me like you're saying if you go to a mall and have a mass shooting in a totally sober state, that's bad, but if you get hopped up on bath salts and then have a good old fashioned shotgun rampage, that's ok and we shouldn't count those ones....
I'm saying that the phrase "mass shooting" should only be applied to a situation where the shooting is the reason for the conflict, not an argument, robbery, drug crime, or gang crime.
Further, I'd argue that conflating them all together so you can pump up statistics and make people scared denigrates all the victions of actual mass shootings like Uvalde and Sandy Hook.
... Why are you saying and arguing those things, nobody cares about what you think about the way the statistics are counted when you can compare the data to other countries without guns and without any types of shooting events, mass or not.
Do you not understand what all of these different people are trying to explain to you?
Because all the countries with strict gun laws that you all love to try and compare the USA with, also have strong social safety nets and are not as diverse as the USA...why don't you compare it with say Mexico or Brazil? Both have super strong gun laws but have no real safety nets and surprise....still have tons of firearm related deaths.
Not as diverse as the eu?? Not as diverse as Canada? Wtf are you talking about
Apparently you have never been to the EU... Canada while quite diverse, is mainly Europeans that immigrant to their. Some of my family came from the EU to Canada and then the USA....so it's not really fair to act like Canada is super diverse.
Why don't you answer my question before trying to deflect.
Hit me with some sources first then we'll talk. Judging by this comment I'm not expecting much.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/16/a-revealing-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-ethnically-diverse-countries/
Uhh ok? Canada is a jumping point as I stated for people trying to enter the USA...this isn't unknown.
Lol 10 year old, wapo, pay walled article. Let me help you out, Canada is as or more diverse than the US, and saying the eu has no diversity is fucking hilarious. Good try.
So your rebuttal is, nuh uh 10 year old article? Got it...next.
The Canadian census: A rich portrait of the country's religious and ethnocultural diversity
Here ya go dumb dumb.
Super diverse....aka white people from the EU....like I said it was.
Waiting for that EU one...still...dumb dumb
The only way to be diverse in your eyes is to be Muslim hindu or sikh?
Congrats on cherry picking what you want to think... reading comprehension isn't your strong point is it.
Yeah you right. America is special, nothing anyone can do, enjoy your piles of dead children.
O you're not even from here lol what a tool.
Exactly, fuck them dead kids.
Sure, and all these different people haven't said a single thing that counters what I'm saying, telling, isn't it?
We've all countered it. Very telling indeed.
