I don’t care about this race shit honestly (I have too much of too many things going on in my own family and genres to be overly bias to one group so I just call it like I see it).Aren't straight, white men the biggest demographic for mass shooters, by far? And men in general the vast majority of gun violence, period?
I suppose that's the demographic that ought to be barred from gun ownership, right? Seems like it would pretty well eliminate the problem. Women can still own and carry guns for hunting and protection.
For what it's worth, only like a quarter of mass shootings are even carried out by people who have been formally diagnosed with mental illness. So involuntary commitment or red flag laws based around that would only take care of a quarter of the problem at best.
But not long ago I was looking at a mass shooter breakdown by race and it looked to me like every minority group was over represented. For example Asians who normally are lower statistically in crime even compared to whites accounted a bit above their overall representation. Now not appears trans are very overrepresented here (it only takes a couple to do that). Media definitely spins it a certain way.
