"Use a gun in a crime and to jail you go for the rest of your life" Be specific what crimes you're talking about then...

sigh................I'm outtie. Yall are just too sharp.

Not the greatest argument I've seen. Every one of those absolutely meets the definition of a mass shooting and worse yet, the two you quoted, Parkland and Vegas, occurred during the Trump administration. Regardless, I don't think who the president is has any bearing on mass shootings. I was just answering the OP's original question which is no, I don't believe these are occurring to cause gun control by the left. People are just getting more mentally ill and technology is paving the way.

He posted pretty much the same in the S. Carolina Shooting thread:



I don't think he understands the meaning of "Mass Shooting".

Ok...for the whiners and people that insist on shooting illegal deer...any FELONY offense involving the use of a firearm, life in prison or death.

The death penalty is not a deterrent for these crazy people. If they are pizzed off enough to kill a few people, the last thing they will be concerned with is the penalty if they are caught. Most of these mass killers seem to be suicidal, why would they give a flip if the sentence is death???

I disagree. much like the gun control argument goes, give an inch and they take a mile. In this situation, you set the precedent for a set level of crime and you are done as a person for that one....who's to say the sheeple don't elect people who want that to change to any misdemeanor later?

You start the slippery slope and its gone..how bout we just enforce the laws that are already written and don't make more ?

Or the simply desire being in the news and getting even, at least in their own mind, than they fear the consequences of their actions.

NTX They do technically meet the definition of a "mass shooting", but not really the type that get hyped in the media. A fraction of those shootings made national news. I'm not talking about a disgruntled husband pissed off his wife moved on so he rams the vehicle with his exwife, new man, and children and then shoots them. Those are domestic violence murders to me and not really a "mass shooting" the reason all these get thrown in together is because 4 or more people were injured or killed. I'm aware that the two I quoted were during Trumps 4 years, I was just trying to convey the types of "mass shootings" I was referring to.

MBradford, I'm fully aware of what a "mass shooting" is, maybe you don't know what it is besides the definition you read online. Even though a lot on that list are lumped in as a mass shooting strictly because of the of the broad definition of mass killings.

From your wiki link


Basically saying, they don't really know what a "public mass shooting" really is because there are no broadly accepted definition. So we're just going to take every single instance where 3 or more people are shot (injured/killed) and throw it in with the statistic, basically inflating the numbers. Hell 1 weekend in Chicago could inflate the numbers 10 fold if they counted that... But no black on black violence is considered gang violence.

It's a mass shooting if they can call for "reasonable gun control"

isnt wiki updated by any yahoo that comes along. If this was true , wouldnt the lying media use it against him. I mean they even talked weekly about his wife dress attire. I call BS. Were you not around under the o admin , it was multiple shootings every week....

I ride with Texas buckeye.

Could some of these mass shootings be some thing other that what we are told. I mean biden bombs seria, a week later we get a 24 year old serian "American" , that looks like a 45 year old fat bald guy committing a mass shooting. We have seen infiltrators to the BLM , and Patriot rallies with nothing else to do but only agenda is to commit crime and use those movements. We have heard reports of foreign known agitators using the same tactics and being spotted in rallies and crowds here. Then you have numerous reports of witnesses seeing folks dressed in combat gear doing the shooting. Do we think Antifa suddenly took a break from the action, they were burning down buildings and shooting into crowds just a few months ago. The war is real , the news is fake. When you see a bunch of old guys standing feet away from a shooter and all they can do is take the cell phones out and stand around and say hes over there. Something doesnt smell right.

That’s the problem with blanket statements and emotionally fueled thought. I’m not calling you out, it happens to us all. Regardless with gun laws it’s a slippery slope and dems are waiting for statements like that to pounce and capitalize.

I understand...it just gets really old that every time one of these tragedies happen, they want to take firearms away from the people that didn't do anything wrong.
