I read this as denying the rhetoric about this particular trans shooter. They are saying that of over 4,000 shooters, only 4 were trans and the rest were cis. They've chosen a clunky way to say it but i believe that's what is being highlighted here.

The US has a greed, apathy and violence problem - not a transgender people problem. The facts stand, over 97% school shooters were cis white males.

It is a mistake to view authoritarianism in America as something new. Prior to the 1970s, authoritarianism was the norm for non-whites. And after a brief experiment with multiracial democracy, a segment of America wants to return to the era of authoritarianism for minorities.
