(CNN)In the wake of one of the worst massacres in modern American history, our government's highest leaders will be silent about why things like this keep happening. "Warmest condolences" will be tweeted to families of those who lost their lives, minutes of mourning will pass and murmurs of mental health issues and lone-wolf actors will taper into silence. Taming homegrown terror and tightening gun control will be dismissed as inappropriate or unnecessary politicizing of a tragedy and quickly become secondary to more pressing issues on the administration's agenda. America has been here before.
In fact, America has been here 273 times in 2017 alone, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which compiles deaths and injuries from shooting incidents and defines a mass shooting as any incident where four or more people are wounded or killed. According to their tally, there have also been 11,698 deaths as a result of gun violence so far this year. Between 2001 and 2014, 440,095 deaths by firearms occurred on US soil, while deaths by terrorism during those years numbered 3,412. Today, America faces approximately one mass shooting per day on average.
Mass shootings are a violent epidemic that have been met with fatal passivity for far too long. If mass shootings were perpetrated mostly by brown bodies, this would quickly be reframed and reformed as an immigration issue. If thousands died at the hands of black men, it would be used to excuse police brutality, minimize the Black Lives Matter movement and exacerbate the "raging black man" stereotype. If mass shooters identified as Muslim, it would quickly become terrorism and catalyze defense and security expenditures.
But this is a white man's problem...

Ok. 273 mass shootings in 2017 alone. Got it.
Today, America faces approximately one mass shooting per day on average.
One mass shooting per day. Wow!
But this is a white man's problem. According to an analysis by Mother Jones, out of 62 cases between 1982 and 2012 (a time period that would not include the actions of Dylann Roof or Stephen Paddock, among others), 44 of the killers were white men
44 white men out of 62 mass shootings over the past 35 years.
62 mass shootings? Got it.
But, wait, didn't you just say there's been 273 mass shootings this year alone? Um, I'm pretty sure you did! One mass shooting per day even!
So, Naan, who's really doing all the shooting?
Per capita way more black men shooting people than white men.
What about the “rage” of black men? Chicago, for instance?

Remember, over 60% of these numbers here are suicides. Nothing to do with "mass killings".
SMH.
What are they smoking up there in the Newseum parrot perch?
“But this is a white man’s problem...”
Fascists always want to justify disarming white people.
Good Luck with THAT, Losers!
When a muzzie goes Jihad on a bunch of people, we’re told NOT to blame the race or the religion or even the sex of the person in a female suicide bombings.
If a white guy does it, EVERY White Christian Male is at fault.
Got it! *SPIT*
CNN is afraid the white liberal elite killer will be exposed as a hater who targeted Trump Supporters because he has the same hate toward traditional Americans that CNN has...
In short - the white liberal elite killer was ‘brother under the skin’ of every CNN hater...
This article has nothing to do with facts. Although, I give it high marks for hyperbole.
Gee, wheres cnn when its a MUSLIM of any stripe?
What are the stats when Islamists use knives. Or hatchets. Or vehicles. Or AIRPLANES?
Are white males proportionatelt the fathers of babies aborted?
Cnns #FakeConcern for human life is not convincing
This will do wonders to smooth over the rumblings of a coming race war, eh, slimedia? Keep a-stirring....
3900 shootings in Chicago in 2016 alone. Media pretty silent. Jimmy Kimmel silent...
When it’s Islamic terrorism, CNN is only concerned on “what did we do to make them mad?” and “please make sure there isn’t any backlash toward the Muslim community”.
>>So, Naan, who’s really doing all the shooting?
Progressives like to throw out numbers, but they don’t seem to understand that people can do math with numbers.
Suddenly the numbers don’t seem to fit the narrative.
apparently CNN has already forgotten abotu the riots in fuergeson, florida- california- where blacks went on murderous rampages- There were suppsoedly 8 or so homicides in florida after the trayvon case which were inspired by black rage-
Typical gun-grabber statistical mish-mash. Mass shootings are a small part of gun deaths. So they throw in the larger body count which is largely suicides and black-on-black violence.
These CNN people are ridiculous and dangerous subversives.
It is so interesting, from a fiction-becomes-reality-like-1984-perspective, how when a major killer is always “white” it is all about their “race” yet when the major killer is “black” it is not about their race, to the major media at least.
Sorry, I just cant deal with CNN articles. They suck.
