8. There are many flavors of gun violence

Domestic abuse, murders, revenge, etc.

Stochastic terrorism with guns is different. It is perpetrated by a narrow demographic, utilizing America's lax gun laws, to terrorize and subjugate other demographics. And that is pretty unique.

Gay people aren't shooting up straight night clubs.

Black people aren't shooting up white grocery stores.

Latinos are not shooting up Walmarts.

Jewish people are not shooting up Christian churches.

The violence is coming from one demographic: Alt-right radicalized men
