Who’s driving these “mass shootings”? The RATS and their “media” toadies. When a six year old can bring a gun to school, pull it out and shoot his teacher, GUNS AREN’T THE PROBLEM. Anyone who says otherwise is doing way too many recreational drugs.

I am from Monterey Park, Calif. I am struggling to process a reality that has become familiar to many Americans: The horror of a mass shooting has come to my hometown. And this diverse, vibrant community will never be the same. I know the area surrounding the Star Ballroom Dance Studio — the site of the attacks — very well. The church where I made my First Communion is down the street, and the public park where I learned to swim is around the corner.

I...I...I... This mass shooting is all about me.

Two older Asian men used guns to kill, because they could get guns.

In Asia, in the last few years, men have committed mass murder with knives, fire, poison, and guns.

It’s not an American thing only.

In 98% of defensive gun uses (DGUs), a shot is not fired.

Fact: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

Source: http://www.gunfacts.info/pdfs/gun-facts/7.1/Gun-Facts-7.1-screen.pdf, page 21.

Fact: A victim may have a strong reluctance to talk to a government agent about a firearm brandishing incident (which are 98% of DGUs) because they may not know the act was 100% legal.

Source: http://www.gunfacts.info/pdfs/gun-facts/7.1/Gun-Facts-7.1-screen.pdf, page 83.

In other words, the 98% number is probably low.

Well Raul, had citizens been allowed to protect themselves by carrying, the shooter would have been stopped before too much damage was done, OR more likely, he might never had done what he did knowing that people are armed and will fight back, and that he might lose his life before he could take anyone else’s life!

Ever think about that Raul? The old west was a fairly tame period as most people carried and knew how to use guns, and th3 bad guys took a very serious risk committing their crimes

The Culture of Violence in the American West: Myth versus Reality

By Thomas DiLorenzo

September 22, 2010

Contrary to popular perception, the Old West was much more peaceful than American cities are today. The real culture of violence on the frontier during the latter half of the nineteenth century sprang from the U.S. government’s policies toward the Plains Indians.

The Not-So-Wild, Wild West

In a thorough review of the “West was violent” literature, Bruce Benson (1998) discovered that many historians simply assume that violence was pervasive — even more so than in modern-day America — and then theorize about its likely causes. In addition, some authors assume that the West was very violent and then assert, as Joe Franz does, that “American violence today reflects our frontier heritage” (Franz 1969, qtd. in Benson 1998, 98). Thus, an allegedly violent and stateless society of the nineteenth century is blamed for at least some of the violence in the United States today

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2010/09/thomas-dilorenzo/was-there-a-culture-of-violence-in-the-old-west/

Society back then hired private groups to enforce laws and protect people in addition to local police or sherrifs and such. People rarely got out of hand knowing that fact. Those that did almost always got stopped fairly quickly via either the sherrifs or the armed groups tracking g them down and putting a stop to their reign of terror.

These days, EVERYBODY is Sonny Corleone in their own minds… especially our politicians (actually, THEY see themselves as Vito).

Everybody is a tough guy. Only… they aren’t. They’re just pathetic losers lashing out.

America’s “distinction” is that we have descended to allowing demented fools, insane perverts and career criminals to rule. That’s why America is a laughingstock. A running joke.

With all these shootings lately it makes me wonder if they’re trying to distract us from something....

Indeed, there are mass shootings every weekend and sometimes during the week in Chicago.
No one claims it’s an American thing.
Meanwhile, more people are killed daily by Fentanyl nationwide than black on Black mass killings.
