The do shoot each other but since it usually is not a mass killing you don’t hear much about it. There often are third page stories about some young kid who blows away his mother or brother. I guess the early gun training didn’t take.Then of course there are those who manage to shoot themselves accidentally. Guns kill about as many people as auto accidents. I think the leading causes of death are auto’s, medication errors, and gun fatalities.
You’re saying the only reason I never in my 65 years ever heard the story of a black man shooting up a white church is only because the “librul” media didn’t report it?
Dude – blaming “mind altering drugs” is simply a cheat. Alcohol is a mind-altering drug, but many states allow you to take guns into bars. The issue here is institutionalized racism as well as some of the loosest gun control laws in the nation. This kid went out and bought a gun with no checks or balances. Even if you are correct in your attributions (which you are not), then a check could have indicated he was taking drugs and forbidden him a gun.A gun is a tool with one purpose: killing people. If you don’t recognize that, then you are ignoring a cause as well.
Guns are gaining on autos as COD, even though both numbers are, for now, down just a little. The simple fact is that handguns like the .45 APC, not just any “gun”, as in rifle, shotgun, or rimfire handgun with target setup, is intended to kill, people as it’s ultimate best use and function, whether for aggression or defense makes no matter.
ALL lives matter, we are one species, although there is viable reason to question whether all members have yet adapted intellectually to deserve the “sapien” label.
Really? Because that’s not what the Statistics say:.From the Huffingtom Post:…The degree to which homicide grows out of personal disputes is shown by the fact that of the total murders committed in 2012, only slightly more than 20 percent took place during the commission of other crimes. The rest happened because people who knew each other, and in most cases knew each other on a long-term, continuous basis, got into an argument about money, or who dissed who, or who was sleeping with someone else, or some other dumb thing. And many times they were drunk …
Night-Gaunt49: How do you figure that? First, the surprise factor. Eleven worshipers in the room; subtract two who survived by playing dead makes nine; subtract one left “to tell what happened” makes eight. Anyone skilled with that Colt auto-loader can incapacitate the eight in one second or so; reload and put the “three or four” more in each, make the racist statements, and be leaving in about a couple of minutes. What lambs?
i think this might clarify your misinformation: ’HomicideAccording to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and “Other” 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of white victims killed by whites, and 93% of black victims killed by blacks.333435https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States
For example several years ago a blank man walking into a restaurant, shoot & kills 4 white police officers who were eating breakfast.Maurice Clemmons is the guy you’re thinking of. He shot the cops because they were cops, not because they were white. Let’s not forget that Clemmons would not have been free if Mike Huckabee hadn’t released him from prison.
