re: #11 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸

a fucking gun nut “explains” to me that gun violence is all the fault of brown people

The US has an issue with gun violence but, it has nothing to do with guns

It is more about the socioeconomic, moral and societal breakdown, mostly in inner cities
There are many things that can be done to start addressing the issues but, none of the, include banning a particular weapon. That is just kabuki theater.

But, the things are hard and will make people uncomfortable. They won’t look “fair”
They will involve intrusions into the lives and families of those most affected

So does the nut have a facile answer to the question of why so very few (none AFAICR off the top of my head) of these Parkland-style mass shootings are carried out by any of those “breakdown” folks from the “inner cities”? Despite their “socioeconomic, moral and societal” problems? I’m sure that there’s plenty of gun-related violence in *those* neighborhoods: but it tends to stay closer-to-home and be either gang-related or personal (the latter being a huge component of overall firearms deaths/murders among everybody - but blaming “welfare n******s” is the good old racist standby. Like you said: nut.).
