While gang shootings aren’t a net positive, at least a lot of the time they seem to be trying to shoot each other.

Many more people are being shot and killed in Ukraine everyday than were killed in Highland Park. It is embarrassing how self centered Americans are.

Most of the gun violence is in Democrat cities.

So yes, Democrat Party voters probably shoot and kill more people then GOP voters when you look at the numbers.


More than 60 democrats shot, 15 fatally, in Chicago over July 4th the weekend.

52 democrats shot over the July 4th weekend in NYC. No totals on dem fatalities yet. Still counting.

Only four years ago, it was the safest large city in the US.

Democrat politicians kill a lot of people.

WTF
Talk about biased BS
How do you know they are Democrats
Let's see your biased BS source
Most people in Chicago don't vote
They get a 35% turnout on registered voters
That's like 20% of all people that can vote, maybe lower

He knows.

He’s just deflecting from yesterday’s Trump-loving shooter. None of our righties like to admit MAGA has a white supremacist mass murderer problem.

AZD has it right.

I am not going to assemble a whole data base but extrapolate from these 2 numbers.

Just Chicago had 524 murders in 2021. The total country had 703 killed in mass shootings in 2021.

Some definitions of mass shootings by those that want to make the numbers look big are as loose as more than 4 shots fired.

A lot of the violence happening in the cities now is by the 'homeless' they are also unlikely to be Republicans regardless of race.

I stand by my statement.

FBI defines "mass murder" as an incident where four or more people are killed, which can include gun violence. How many of 524 were 4 or more.

You guys are completely deflecting by switching from mass shootings only to all shootings in America....

Its no secret that most shootings are in Democrat cities because well basically every City that matters is controlled by Democrats.... But, it was strictly focused on mass shooters...

It you get shot do you really care if it was part of a mass shooting?
