yea i'm not against that either. but i can state something as absolute fact that is already pretty clear. "gun availability" has always been there. that hasn't changed at all in 50 years. it's what people are doing with them with these mass shootings that has changed.Originally posted by Scrumhalf View PostI don't know about that. The NRA 5-star rating still counts for a lot for candidates proving their pro-gun bonafides.
At any rate, the proof is in the pudding. I would like to see Congress fund the CDC to research gun violence as the public health menace that it is. And I am not talking about just mass shootings. It is domestic violence, gang related violence, suicides, everything. When we don't know what the factors are that influence this in this country - gun availability, mental health, drug abuse, etc., we will never know what to fix. We should treat gun violence just like alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc. It is a public health issue.

i have a strong feeling that it's simply copycat mentality. once it gets pounded into the minds of people and they see it over and over it sits in the mind and grows. that thought simply was not in these people minds 50 years ago. it wasn't something they ever thought about.

huge difference. one is a wild west type gun fight/shoot out between rival gangs. the other is some nut (almost always white) walking into a building trying to kill everyone in sight.Originally posted by lipripper View PostEvery weekend mass shooting in Chicago...it's just not reported and paid attention to ..no difference in shooting up a club or a drive by with people standing and gathered in a yard or on a corner....white people just are better about grabbing headlines...you know...white privilege and all....

the chicago shootings are a result of the surroundings and the lifestyle.
these peaceful suburbia shootings are not that at all. these are not something we saw in the wild west or any place else. this is something new and very different.

Gun violence is a serious public health issue in this country but we don't allow our best public health research organiztion to go figure out why.

these are important questions that you will never see the media ask.

People in poverty are concerned with getting by day to day. Only thought to use a gun would be to get some quick cash. People that aren't in poverty have other things on their minds. Day to day shit that shouldn't matter affects minds to a great degree. Look at the dumb reasons people commit suicide. First world problems. Well a suicidal person is just one step away from a homicidal person.Originally posted by Bouncer View Postwhy? does this imply that people that are more comfortable financially actually tend to have more mental problems? these shooters never seem to be from absolute poverty like many blacks or hispanics are yet those blacks and hispanics WITH ACCESS TO GUNS almost never commit a mass shooting.

Million dollar question right there. I'd wager it's a numbers game, far more whites and being topped with I bet far more whites have mental health issues requiring medication.

yea that's fine chuck. meanwhile we have headlines almost every month from some mentally disturbed white fella shooting up a place.Originally posted by chuckz28 View PostQuazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, Amine El Khalifi, Sami Osmakac, Rezwan Ferdaus, Farooque Ahmed, Faisal Shahzad, Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, Najibullah Zazi.
All separate individuals, had they not been caught would have been mass murderers. This is just from Obama's first term.
why is the number of whites doing this so high? why do we not see blacks doing mass shootings like this. there are plenty of black shootings but we are talking about mass shootings. why is it overwhelmingly white people doing this? what is the link? why is it increasing and getting more common? firearms have always been easily accessible and available in the US but these shootings are increasing and they are almost always done by a mentally disturbed white guy. WHY?
