I admire the consistency of this forum.

RIP to the victims.

I pray that the USA sees sense one day.

Guns do kill people. People with guns kill people. I don't see the difference. Guns are bad, and their easy availability is responsible for too many deaths, period.

Lol, how many more years will Americans chant this nonsense about guns not killing people?

I don't get it...

I agree with you. I was being ironic.

The problem with that “icky data” is that you can go to five (5) different websites and get five (5) different statistical results. It’s your racism and bigotry that is statistically undeniable.

Is that not the consistency of a small contingent of the membership, rather than the forum as a whole?

You are correct, sir. Pardon me for painting with such large brush strokes.

Please post just one of these different results from one of those websites. Of course if you think this request is racist then just reply with some abuse that usually works

Isolating one datum is a poor analysis. Citing data in context helps us understand things better.

Others think it's all "racist ".

So why does social phenomena numbers only consist of race and/or ethnicity? Aren’t there other factors? For example, what was this shooters motivation? It was jealousy. But you wouldn’t know, or even care, as long as you can find the data/numbers to your liking that point fingers at a certain race/ethnicity group but don’t even address the real issue at hand.

Like I said before, an American is an American, skin tone has nothing to do with this, but you don’t see it that way and show it every time this issue comes up, and it’s obvious as to why that is.

I’m not going to do it because I don’t care, because that’s not the issue at hand and has nothing to do with this particular thread.
