Mass shootings are overwhelmingly gang related, and overwhelmingly occur in metropolitan areas. Mass shootings are also overwhelming done with handguns, not "assault weapons”, but your contextually challenged claim does appear to be emotionally effective.

How about when slaughtering cute little children or large groups of people at concerts/night clubs? Seems like those are almost always AR15, but I don't have the numbers in front of me.
March 28, 20232 yr Quote Firearms became the leading cause of death for American children and teenagers in 2020, according to researchers who analyzed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. This sad fact represents a major shift in risks for young people in the U.S. For over 60 years, car accidents were the leading cause of death for kids and teens. Car accidents are now number two, while drug overdoses are number three. Meanwhile, motor vehicles have been getting safer for years. According to the article Lee published, the number of young Americans whose deaths are caused by cars started to decrease due to a concerted effort to improve that safety. the focus on automobile safety through the years has worked. cars were the #1 cause of death for american children & teens for 60 years before firearms took over the top spot. let's hope it won't take 60 years for us to see a focus on gun safety that produces results.

Absolutely horrific. I just can't wrap my mind around why this is happening at all, let alone why it is happening as often as it does. I also think it needs to be stressed how professionally and how bravely those officers acted. They were heroic in their actions and how swiftly they moved in on the shooter. Whatever those guys make, it isn't enough. I have so much respect for them. They did pretty decent for patrol cops. Big thing is they pushed the threat. They were a little wonky with some of their clears and the last second call to push the guy with the "LVPO” forward (you have what you have, just push and he’ll follow). 1 hour ago, 91defense said: Theoretically, this sounds like it could maybe work. My concern, however, is that the shooter will just take out the security guard from a distance first, then do their thing. It would not be difficult. A guard that spends day after day for years, surrounded by kids and people moving about, will not exactly be on their toes at all times. Shooting at distance is more complicated than that and no matter who anyone is no one will be on their toes all the time, even if they’re Rambo. 1 hour ago, mr_hunt said: Yes, much less shootings than when we banned *checks notes* flashhiders, bayonet lugs, and collapsible stocks and allowed to be sold 98% of the exact same rifle that is allowed today. It’s pretty obvious that you have little to no knowledge of firearms themselves, or the elements of current or previous laws about them. 3 minutes ago, 91defense said: How about when slaughtering cute little children or large groups of people at concerts/night clubs?
