The agreed-upon definition of an “active shooter” by US government agencies (including the White House, US Department of Justice, FBI, US Department of Education, US Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Emergency Management Agency) is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.” In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. (emphasis mine)
It certainly does run the gammut. States like Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Vermont have similar homicide rates to Western Europe and countries like Japan and China.
All states that are very racially/culturally homogeneous.
Minnesota is a pretty decent state too...outside of the multi-cultural Twin Cities. I can go up to the Iron Range and hear gun fire all day long...and there are no gun-used homicide problems up there. And there probably isn't a home up there that doesn't have a firearm of some type in it.
Same in Wisconsin and just about every other state in America.
It's a cultural problem in (some parts of) America...most of America outside the inner-city sh--holes is overall pretty good.
The truth is if we eliminate inner-city sh--holes from the statistics of America and American gun statistics, America is a nice, clean, safe First World nation.

Bottom line.
Exactly. Anyone with common sense understands that, the anti gun crowd doesn't, as well as our politicians.
I guess ignorant me never knew they were "white supremacists" like Joy Behar informed me the other day.
