As I cited 5 posts ago this is completely false. Whites are less likely per capita co commit a mass shooting than the black population. Both populations mass homicide rate fairly closely reflect their population numbers, blacks a bit over represented whites under.

Ummm...they can afford more guns?

You will almost always find these young white guys are products of gun heavy homes. Often they have been hunting for years, so are desensitized to shooting things to death. Big Whoop.

I watched a Dateline about some prawn who killed his pretty female school friend, just shot her for no apparent reason except

HE LIKED SHOOTING<<and grew up in a home with lots of guns and hunting.

2+2=4 where guns are concerned.

One more time... this thread is false. Whites are slightly under represented in mass homicides, blacks over represented (slightly), asians significantly over represented.

Perhaps a good work ethic, education, and strong family values is a better place to start.
And the goal of this conspiracy...is what, actually?

I also have to wonder how accurate the Mother Jones data is, there is at least one incident I'm aware of that is not included in that data.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Banks

That occurred just after the last incident they list and it's really hard to overlook with 13 people killed.

Actually it's not, hit the pivot table tab:


US Mass Shootings, 1982-2015: Data From Mother Jones' Investigation | Mother Jones

That's a 4:1 ratio, for parity it would be 6:1.

I used this. Who commits mass shootings? - CNN.com

Either way the thread is misleading.

Men regardless of race committ most of the murders in this country period. I think it's uncontrolled anger issues in a lot of men. Young boys aren't taught how to appropriately handle feelings such as anger, low self esteem, rejection, etc and end up lashing out.

Hit the pivot table tab.
Looking just at Black vs. white that is 4:1 ratio, the population ratio is 6:1 so per capita blacks are involved in more mass shootings based on this data. There is also a higher per capita rate overall with minorities.
