weird...they don’t mention the largest mass killing in history, carried out by the US government at wounded knee in 1890. Doesn’t mention what caliber they were using either.

Yes or No.

I recall a thread not long ago about the great majority of “mass shootings” being done by pistol-wielding city thugs and gang bangers.

7 out of 10 mass murders prefer CBS.

I saw a PBS show this past week about 19th century rich vs poor and they ended the show blaming capitalism. Nothing new on PBS.

Thank you for correcting this. I was an English major and did a little GED teaching. I find the decline of the English language appalling. Thanks!

If “AR-15s are the choice of our worst mass murderers.”, what is the gun of choice for our BEST mass murderers?
