hm yes, let's look at who commits the most gun violence in the US, surely it is conservatives!
Yes?
Go take a political litmus test of every gang member in the US and see how many are conservatives.
Active shooters make a drop in the pale comparatively, they're just the ones the media focuses on because it's the narrative they prefer.
You really don't see why the media would focus on a random mass killing instead of 2 scumbags shooting at each other over drugs? Weird.
2? More like thousands. If guns are the problem, then guns are the problem. We don't need to focus on specific gun crime when those crimes are once again a drop in the bucket.
That's why it's weird.
Guns are indeed the problem. As every other developed nation shows.
Why people still claim the US is developed beats me, they belong in the same line as Brazil and Mexico (no offence Brazilians and Mexicans)
