I have relatives in Kansas, and most of them have guns. It is a different gun culture than the one I am used to.
Okay? And?
Well there are more guns in the US now than there were in the 50s and 60s, so I guess that is due to people like you who maintain private arsenals.
Yet there are less gun owners as a percentage. Which completely destroys your argument.
While mass murders get most of the media attention, they make up a small percentage of gun deaths.
Some do. Most of the ones in Chicago don't tend to get media attention. But yes, they make up a small percentage of deaths, yet people like you use them to push gun laws that haven onthing to do with them.
And gun deaths in WY are about 7X higher than in NJ, as I pointed out in another post with a link.
I'd be willing to bet most of that is suicides, which were dishonestly counted as 'gun deaths'.
Now do the homicide rates (not just the gun homicide rates, assuming you're providing those and not lumping in accidental deaths and suicides) and come back to us.....
But again, you claimed the problem wrt mass shootings was guns, so we should necessarily expect to see MORE mass shootings in Wyoming than in New Jersey. Yet we don't. So you shot your own argument in the foot.
I just saw an article about crazy conspiracy theories about the Texas massacre. A big one is that it was a false flag operation involving crisis actors, much like Alex Jones has been claiming about Sandy Hook.
That's nice, I don't particularly follow those things.
The other one is that the Texas shooter is transgender,
Is that a conspiracy theory? Or someone making a guess? What makes that a conspiracy theory? DOes that term even mean anything anymore these days?
which serves to combine two of the things conservatives hate most - gun control and transgenders, and is also completely false. So it seems you are getting your news from RW conspiracy sites these days?
I'm not getting my 'news' anywhere of the sort, I stated what I have heard some people on the internet arguing, in response to your statement about not seeing images of the shooter. I've seen pics of the shooter on CNN, MSNBC, etc., as has most other folks. Some of those folks have postulated based on those images, and I noted I didn't particlarly agree. Thanks for your dishonesty though.
