Good catch. Honest question, is this the first/only legal gun in a mass killing?
In the previous national news stories it seemed to always identify that the gun was stolen or obtained illegally, hence my comment - I truly was unaware of a legally obtained gun used in a mass killing.

the virginia tech shooting legally bought guns from a gun show adjacent to a gun store (hence no need to wait for a background check).
Young white males in rural areas have better access to assault rifles etc (likely from their parents), but put a higher concentrate of assault rifles into the hands of inner city black males. And then no one will ever think of young white males anymore.
The article said "As Mother Jones reported, "Since 1982, there have been at least 70 mass shootings across the country... Forty four of the killers were white males. Only one of them was a woman." So white men have been responsible for about 63 percent of mass shootings in that span, despite comprising a far smaller portion of the total population."
HUHHH??? so whites are "far fewer than 63%"???? gtfoh that's exactly what whites are in Ameria 63%...so basically whites finally committ the % of crimes that they should based on their % and we use that ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY to blame whites?? lmfaooo
69 out of 70 mass shootings were done by men...44 out of 69 were white males..so 63%..so lets blame whites for finally committing a crime at least the same % of their population % in America smh if you're gonna be racist af against some group at least be SOMEWHAT accurate.
and were gonna use 44 people since 1982 to blame white men too?

Putting aside for a moment that we're not talking about actual "assault" rifles, inner city black males have the same access to the same weapons as young white males in rural areas. But rifles are not concealable and are more expensive, which makes them less desirable in urban areas.

I kind of meant weapons in general. A lot of white kids who "mass shoot" usually come from some sort of background where guns are prevalent. But in the inner city it's just a handgun here or there. If more weaponry was available to young black males within society, then they'll likewise do more mass shootings. Too many stories of young black males who took a simple handgun to school, with the same motives as a white mass shooter, but, all they could get their hands on was a handgun. So instead of mass shooting, they likely just single out their main target or, just get discouraged altogether.
Most serial killers are white men too, coincidence I think not. White people are more prone towards psychotic behavior.
I bet if you look at real stats of serial killings you will find that black men do it at a far higher rate than their population % of america and whites do it at a similar rate as their %...of course u wont hear or see that though cus ur clear biases have shown already.
