GOP: stop redefining terms, that's not really violence, racism, sexism, etc.
GOP, also: actually a mass shooting is any time 4 or more people are shot, or maybe we should use 3 to make gangs look even worse, or maybe we should just make it "shot at" instead of "shot"
in seriousness this kind of word play serves no one. mass shootings is a useless term, and it's as bad as lefties using suicide by gun stats to make gun deaths look worse.
I don’t thing the GOP benefits from inflated “mass shooting” numbers.
When it comes to firearms the numbers speak for themselves, and the arguments are all shit. Over half of gun deaths are suicides. “The leading cause of death for
children” means inner city gang violence. The entire argument to ban ARs when less than 5% of all gun homicides are done with a rifle of any kind.
It is tiring arguing over guns. I am pretty clear I am very close to this issue, owning way more guns than I probably should and living way out in the boonies when I am not at work. I am comfortable being in Texas, which already ignores many federal laws pertaining to firearms.
