Mass shooters have one thing in common

"Less worthy of life". You mean people subject to a torrent of military bullets from your precious guns? Because you value posing for pictures with your AR's than you do children's lives. Children who are sitting ducks in our schools.

You have zero conscience.

yes, keep inventing all the reasons why my life is less worthy. we have never actually met, but you have it all figured out. embrace your hatred.
 
Actually, the thing they have most in common is they are rare. But when it comes to mass shootings, Chicago blows every other city away with how many happen there.

Let's take Chicago since one of the latest mass shootings happened there (well, Highland Park part of the metro Chicago area).

Last year there were 3561 shooting incidents in Chicago. That resulted in 797 murders by gunfire. The number of shooting incidents was up 300 from 2020 and up by 1415 over 2019.

This represents the highest homicide rate in 25 years for Chicago.
https://news.yahoo.com/chicagos-797-homicides-2021-highest-033718680.html

This year there has already been 971 shooting incidents in Chicago.

Highland Park is hardly the first mass shooting in Chicago this year. In fact, more mass shootings occur there than in any other major US city.
Between September 2018 to May 24 of this year Chicago has led the US's major cities in people killed and injured in mass shootings with a total of 811 of which 92 died.

So, why the sudden mass MSM interest in this particular Highland Park mass shooting?

And all the shootings in Chicago are done with guns purchased in Indiana, 2 minutes away, where there are no gun purchase restrictions. You suck, troll.

An irrelevant red herring. Only 60% of guns used in crimes in Chicago come from out of state, with about 20% coming from Indiana, and of those only 11% were legally possessed by the shooter. So, the problem isn't where the guns are coming from but rather criminals using illegally purchased or stolen firearms in crimes. Straw buyers are one of the largest pipelines for firearms into Illinois.

https://www.chicagocriminallawyerbl...9 and 2013 were purchased outside of Illinois.

Worse, about 75% of these guns trace back to just 10 licensed dealers, 7 in the Chicago area, 3 in Indiana. In fact, the top two on that list, Chuck's Gun Shop Riverdale, and Midwest Sporting Goods Lyon are both in Illinois and Chicago.

So much for your shit attempt at a red herring.

So you are telling us that the third largest city in America, over eight million in its metro area, with also one of the highest population densities in the country, has a problem cause it doesn't compare to such as Anchorage, Alaska?

The common denominator to all mass shootings, the only variable controllable in mass shootings, is guns, not where they occur, or even why, but guns, too many guns out there and too easy access to too many guns

"Only 60%?" Are there many other States where sixty percent of all the guns used in homicides come from out of State?

Eliminate that sixty percent and probability is the total homicide rate decreases

No, guns

Why is it so difficult for you gunhuggers to understand common sense?

Three common variables to all mass shootings; the shooter, the target, the gun

Impossible to know who the next mass shooter will be, nor can you protect all potential vulnerable targets, yet the one variable we do have some control over is the gun that makes it all possible. Regulating access to guns would go a long way in preventing mass shootings, it won’t end them, but will decrease their frequency

The shooter is almost always an atheist.

False equivalence. New York and Los Angeles are both much larger and far lower gun crime and homicide rates. Houston and Phoenix are the same way. Chicago is an outlier in the top five and when you go to say the top ten cities it becomes even more obvious.

Guns are a tool. Remove the guns and those bent on mass destruction will choose another tool be it a truck, or a large bomb, or something else. You are giving what amounts to a fallacy of exclusive premises. Mass killings don't require a gun. They require someone who plans to do one and then chooses a method to carry it out. Timothy McVey is an example of that.

No assault weapons = fewer gun mass shooting deaths. Like you, it's pretty simple, princess.
