    There’s actually no significant political trend or ideology in active shooters they run the gamut politically and ideologically and religiously.

    But you’re right it was not a drag queen. 😃

      Bending reality to fit your cult views. Would love some sources or data to back that up. But you magats don’t give that.

        I donno man. Maybe do a Google search, heck ask chatgpt if you’re super lazy.

        https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-08-07/what-role-does-ideology-play-in-mass-shootings

        https://www.statista.com/statistics/1384790/motivations-of-mass-shooters-us/

        But here you go. Sources.

        Since I’m not lazy I’ll just go ahead and tell you what the results of those sources are.

        The extreme vast majority of mass shooters are white males are mentally ill, suicidal and are in a state of crisis days or hours before the shooting occurs.

        Extremism plays a role in the shootings but not necessarily right wing extremism although in recent years there has been a small uptick in right wing extremist motivated shootings.

        None of the sources good ones or bad ones link specifically magas to mass shootings although there have been Mass shooters that identified as such. There have also been plenty of mass shooters that identified as extremist left wing.

        The LA times article goes into detail specifically about that.

        I highly recommend you stop making assumptions about random people you comment to on the internet.

        One day many many decades and centuries from now internet archaeologists are going to be looking at this exchange and you’re going to come off as extremely ignorant.

        What’s more is that you don’t give a crap about the mass shooters you just want Mass shooters to fit your world view which is apparently that all magas are bad which exemplifies your ignorance.

          First of all you gave me 2 examples of shooters and expect that to be significant. Second I didn’t say mass shooters were all Maga. Again bending reality to be the persecuted party. Maga is just focused on the wrong things. Exemplified by the fact that mass shootings are typically depressed white males. Why is it that 90%+ are male and 50%+ are white? Why can we immediately have a legislature to ban reading books to kids from drag queens or deport without due process. But yet when it comes to mental health or gun control we have nothing. BeCaUsE tHe CoNsTiTuTion. You know what kills the most kids in america? Not cancer, not cars, not accidents. Guns. This one was done with his moms gun. How was that not properly locked away. I’m not the ignorant one. https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/public-mass-shootings-database-amasses-details-half-century-us-mass-shootings Here’s an actual study.

            hey I’m confused by what you linked. you’re trying to say there’s a pattern, right? since the person you’re responding to was just saying “there’s no pattern”. but the data in this source really didn’t jump out at me as saying a particular demographic was responsible. (besides males…) like yeah they were 50% white but that’s the majority demographic so of course a wide distribution will have high pct white. I mean the age range was 11-70!!

            I’m just confused at why you’re so mad at this person and calling them a maggot when you’re literally agreeing with each other. are you in crisis?

            It’s a complicated and nuanced issue and not one we can easily solve by targeting specific groups. you’re right, the best thing to do is deal with the guns. I dont think ive seen anyone here disagree with that

              So the data i posted initially was from 1966 to 2019. Using that data this person would be correct. However they state that 20% of mass shootings have occurred in the last 5 years. The link i posted afterwards is a more recent analysis of mass shootings in that 5 year span where we can clearly see more right wing white males are the perpetrators. The bigger issue and what i addressed is that regardless of what excuse maga have they still ignore it. Even if you ignore that theyre the biggest perpetrators of this in recent years, they still haven’t done anything about the issues for the last 50+ years. They ignore mental health, gun laws, etc. Instead they ban drag book readings and deport against court orders. Yet kids arent dying from drag book readings. I do not agree with this person and they are very much wrong. Its not really a complicated issue. Expanding access to mental healthcare and placing reasonable gun laws would slash this drastically. But current maga admin are actively cutting mental health access and refuse to touch guns. A study i would like to see is if in recent years maga are suffering from more mental health disorders. It would make their projections of TDS make a lot more sense.

      Hate to be so cliche, but got links? My duckduck searches def highlighted white males, but I couldnt find much about idealogy/politcal trends in our active shooters.
