Why are white men carrying out more mass shootings?
According to the criteria most commonly used
currently to define what a "mass shooting" is, White men are not the primary perpetrators. I can predict that as
that fact becomes more widely known, the defining criteria will be changed or an already existing one will be adopted by the DEMedia and DEMpoliticos to better fit the leftist narrative.
After another weekend of mass shootings, Americans are once again debating the problem of gun violence.
But the criteria most often used now, "
4+ shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time" is a big net that catches a lot of incidents that are just the everyday violence that happens a few times a week where most shootings happen and are the kind of shootings regular people don't really pay much attention to, except to note that they lead the local news every other day, in about every large city.
There ain't a gun control law that will EVER slow
that down because it is a rot in culture that celebrates the criminal lifestyle, rejects outright western societal norms and has zero respect for life.
Given that if Black males aged 15-29 were murdered at the same rate as White males aged 15-29, there would have been 279 instead of 4,578 young Black men being murdered in 2017, a 94% reduction, what the hell are you proposing to bring the young male Black murder rate (82.58/100K), down into alignment with the young male White murder rate (5.03/100K)?
You really think "gun control" will do it . . . especially laws that you hope to enact just to poke a stick in the eye of predominately White gun rights supporters, i.e., Biden is going to "
take on the NRA!"?
Their names now join a roll call of mostly white men attached to the atrocities.
I agree, the "roll call", the names
you can rattle off, is of mostly White guys . . . But that's only because the majority of shootings are being ignored because they don't fit the narrative.
Here, here's a page with the real mass shooting "roll call" so far this year with an
identified perp for
2021 and just for the hell of it,
2020.
Notice anything?
The US Congress defines a mass shooting as a single incident where three or more people are murdered.
That is the DoJ's definition of "mass killing", it has no relationship with the term "mass shooting".
The term "mass killing" and its definition, "3 or more killings in a single incident", is set out in law, "
Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012,
28 USC 530C(b)(1)(M)(i).
Another definition that is often used classifies it as when at least four people are shot (either injured or killed)."
Yes, that is what is commonly referred to as a "mass shooting" in the DEMedia
currently. There is no
legal definition of "mass shooting"; many definitions exist invented by media corporations or private entities tracking multiple victim gun violence -- each with their own agendas -- which is why so much mischief can be made in both the terminology and statistics and then of course, the analysis of the "data".
