Yeah it's definitely time for stricter gun control. There is a civil war going on in this country between the whackjob gun owners and every innocent American.

US saw highest number of mass killings on record in 2019, under Trump.

Trump's Silence on the shooting Pandemic has made the situation worse.
PRESIDENTIAL SILENCE

Trump has turned our country into a war zone and just as Obama had the tough job of ending the Republican Recession of 2008, Biden has a tough job of getting our country back to peacetime and without a pandemic. Maybe it has something to do with how our country is policed. Gunnut Trump supporters are getting pushed to the edge by police and it's time something is done about both of them.

Yeah, we need to get rid of all guns. Don't people realize that it did wonders for the political careers of Mao, Stalin and Hitler. So, get with it people.

Ok, CCP. The mass shootings tend to be by your racist woke activists.

That’s even more of a reason to protect yourselves from the blue anon conspiracy theory nutjobs

WHACKJOB GUN OWNERS?...INNOCENT AMERICANS?...THOSE ARE TWO VERY WIDE GENERALIZATIONS...YOU SEEM KIND OF DENSE.🙂

Yeah, all those whackjob Trump supporting legal gun owners, like Denver shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. Did he want to "Make America Great?"

Most of those "mass shooting" stats come from ghetto violence committed with ILLEGAL guns used by black gangsters. Try taking away their firearms instead of those owned legally. Doofus.

You freaks blame Trump for every single thing under the sun.

You truly are freaks. Fuck off.

Just in case anyone is thinking about this....

GVA defines a mass shooting as any incident in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter. The group also tracks mass murders as defined by the FBI — incidents in which at least four people are killed. The FBI does not have a formal definition of a mass shooting.

The nationalaffairs.com link was a good read, thanks.
Quote: "...the fact remains that no president has been able to get to the heart of the matter and implement, or even offer, compelling policy solutions to the problem."
My (non-American) thoughts: The increasing number of mass shootings since the 60's looks like an evidence for some kind of strange competition among some really insane people. Isn't the press also responsible for forcing this competition?
