In reply to the discussion: Show me the lie [View all]Abolishinist
(1,331 posts)36. I see. So you first claimed that there were, say, 4 mass shootings per year,
but NOW, since that didn't work out for you, you decide to jump it up to over 565 per year, depending on the definition of "mass shooting".
Do you not agree that 600+ per year vs. 4 is NOT a HUGE DIFFERENCE? And I would appreciate an explanation for your quick change in stats.
And yet, you were promoting the 3.6 per year with the poster of post #6, who said that
Most of the shooters are white males. No one wants to talk about that demographic.
Do you not agree that this conversation is about white males, and the mass shootings attributed to them? Because as a white male, I would appreciate some honesty about this. Too much to ask?

I think that in terms of fatal mass shootings, the majority of the perps are white males in terms of total numbers,
