Such hope and opportunity in the air during in Kamala Harris/Joe Biden's America.

I guess the lack of hope comes from the government just monetizing out of thin air, lack of community which for hundreds of years was fulfilled by going to church plus well over a year of people sitting inside their houses watching toxic media with their ten masks on socializing exclusively through tech billionaires software programs isn't the best.

From what I read these are not "mass shootings."

There are altercations between people and/or groups of people who KNOW each other and decide to shoot each other.

Thread title is misinformation.

People have been sitting home hearing RACE RACE RACE and inequality and talking about defund the police. The left want to destroy and it's happening. We will have to get used to it. Pretty soon we'll be numb to it as it will happen most days.

Worst ever WH administration we've ever had. We have people that want to destroy America and separate us into groups of sex, color, etc. Nothing unifying about this group playing in the WH. They are very dangerous.

YES, the title is very misleading!

Sounds like most of these incidents were gun battles between people known to each other, in public places.

What does a POTUS, any POTUS, have to do with this? Or a Governor or mayor?

More people are armed, legal and otherwise, than at any point in modern history.

I hold the shooters personally responsible.

Gun violence has ebbed and flowed throughout the US since tracking began. The 80’s- mid 90’s was a particularly rough patch.

The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was so citizens could protect themselves against the Govt...it had absolutely nothing to do with protection from other citizens. Many people are confused by this.

It appears most of these shootings were gun battles between people of the same race.

A tiny minority of a vocal minority seem to advocate for defunding police, whatever that means.

From a statistical standpoint , raw numbers are meaningless given population growth.

The gun homicide RATE is about 1/4 what it was in the early 70’s and half what it was in the 80’s- mid 90’s.

What has changed is our awareness of it due to 24/7 news cycle and social media.

No question , people seem more inclined to blame gun homicides on political ideology, instead of the people who engage in it.

Apparently, the Supreme Court is also "confused" by this.
