There's this idiotic & dishonest graph floating around online. Columbine happened in 1999. Doom had sold 3.5M copies by then. The shooters, Dylan & Eric, played Doom. So the per-capita mass-shooting rate of Doom players is high because they represent a larger percentage of a smaller group. Dumb.
Most people killed by guns contain bullets. Therefore, we should have no more bullets.
What's the source of the graph, anyway? Why, assuming it's even real, is four or more *fatalities* the threshold being considered?
everytownresearch.org/mass-shootin... The most common mass shooting event appears to involve 4 people being wounded and zero fatalities. Why are the vast majority of events being excluded from consideration?
www.motherjones.com/politics/201... "4 killed" is an over-decade-old FBI standard (the threshold was lowered to three at the start of 2013, meaning that the Annunciation shooting wouldn't qualify under either standard and couldn't be considered against any trend derived under therm.)
*under them
Everyone who lives dies... Therefore no one should live... I'll show myself out...
Every time I see people posting lists of "trans shooters," it's the same 6 faces, half of which aren't trans and 1 of the remaining 3 wasn't the actual shooter. Even with that in mind, 6 out of this absurdly high total is meaningless.
100% of the shooters were people. Therefore I think people shouldn't have guns.
Completely ignoring the fact that Dylan and Eric were part of a demographic with MUCH more shooters per-capita, WHITE FUCKING SUPREMACISTS.
Harris and Klebold were fucking fascists who hated everyone in their school. THAT'S why nobody wanted to hang out with them. Not because they were gamers, or listened to Marilyn Manson. Yet the news outlets latched onto the "so they played Doom, eh?"
Andrew Kehoe blew up an elementary school. Killed 45, injured 58. Wonder what violent video games he was playing... In 1927. 🤔
