4. This is important enough that the thread deserves a more meaningful title.

But thanks for posting all the same.

5. exactly

the mass shootings and the terrorist attacks are now no different.

[judy]

6. And let's not forget the current culture of violence

...where killing seems to be the solution for everything. Revenge and hate seem to be accepted values these days.
If revenge and hate are current, accepted values and everyone has access to buying assault weapons, anyone who feels somehow threatened (probably by their own tendencies and feelings) can feel it's OK to kill people.
Someone, somewhere in the establishment has to start promoting peaceful values, and underlining the horror and uselessness of killing be it via drones, AR-15s, handguns, or any other method....

7. I think revenge and hate will be the primary planks of a Trump platform.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. It already is

He's advocating torture and "taking out" the families of suspected terrorists. Not to mention his misogyny and racism. And the so-called "moderate" Republicans will meekly put it on the platform; after all, he's only saying out loud what they think.

9. Now Trump is touting

the Good Guy with a Gun Theory

Trouble with that is there was a cop or security guard there

and the gunmen was legally armed, I read he had a CC permit

So he in the eyes of the law was a GGG.

Trump is vacuous.

18. The male version of Sarah Palin -- a mimbo. nt

10. Men do seem to be the problem. At least self-righteous men!!!

[lark]

11. Trump is such a craven, self-promoting, hate filled, facist/racist.

All he's talking about is radical Islamism, not about hatred of gays. The FBI knew about this guy, had interviewed him numerous times, yet he's still able to get guns with no problems? Other than the heinous loss of life and health, that's the next worst part. Of course he doesn't mention that and everything he did mention was total trash. Beefing up the already grotesquely bloated military won't help this a bit, keeping out Muslim immigrants won't help, the killer is an American. Sad how stupid some of the American public are that they would even consider voting for this dangerous asswipe.

13. This is a great post!

I love it, very informative!

[MadDAsHell]

14. If we're going to start reporting shooting perpetrators by demographics, let's do it.

Gender
Race
Religion
Etc.

I have a feeling this conversation would get really uncomfortable on DU.

[yardwork]

22. If I had time I would make a graphic.

Excellent post.

[Stryder]

15. I wonder

what was the religion of the vast
majority of the other 996?
I haven't heard much discussion of it on Lame Stream media.

Do I need the sarcasm thingy?

[uriel1972]

17. Of course they were just "exceptions" ...

not truly "representative"... where is that sarcasm tag.
They probably weren't true Scotsmen either.

[onehandle]

16. Men with guns are a threat to national security.

Period.

[LittleGirl]

19. Thank you.

We do have a male violence problem and Trump is a good instigator.

[woodsprite]

20. They need a third color - how many were committed by Christians driven by hate. n/t

[kpete]

24. How about this?

[appalachiablue]

23. Truth speaks. Thank you.

25. Tasfin Malik was female

This doesn't refute the point, but it makes me question the counting.
