It's not working. The entire nation knows who these shooters are, and it's not what he pretends.
    I never said they were not white! Or that whites didnt commit more mass shootings,,they do FACT! Blacks commit more violent crime..FACT

    But one white guy can shoot 6 people and its 24/7 news and we must do something bout gun control..racist racist racist

    Blacks can shoot and kill 20 plus people in Chicago and Memphis etc on the same week and its crickets about guns! And most of those shooters get their guns illegal! Not a peep about it! You only care about the bad NUT JOB white guy with a gun not the black guy with a gun where its become a way of life to shoot and kill each other..You are more worried about a white Cop shooting a black so u can again scream racist, than the blacks shooting blacks

    It's also easy to find the equations for the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which show why the 'greenhouse effect' is not possible. No gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth.

    Stop being willfully dumb. You are conflating drug- and gang-related homicides with mass shootings. They are not even remotely the same thing. Your chances of being shot by a black gang member are exactly zero on any given day, as long as you avoid areas where those murders happen. Your odds of being the victim of a mass shooting though are entirely random and unpredictable. However, things that will predispose you to being a massacre victim: 1) Being a school kid, of any age. 2) Attending night clubs. 3) Attending concerts. 4) Shopping at Walmart or other large shopping area. 4) Going to a movie esp. a popular one attended by many others. 5) Dining out. 6) Going to church.

    Ever wonder why you have a gun-murder rate hugely greater than civilized countries? Something about your weather, do you suppose, or baseball?

    Tell the truth...this latest drum beat to remove a citizens right of self protection is simply a political wish. Clearly you could care less about lives....Black, White, or any other color that have been killed via gun violence...or...you would bring up the 300K plus young black men that have been murdered by GUNS in some of the most regulated liberal cities on the earth over the past few decades. They are being stacked up like cord wood....but they never seem to make the nightly news. WHY?
    The media does not want the American people to know that 50% of violent crime is committed by 13% of the population.

    In one instance, a truck was used there to cause mayhem. How is this possible is LAWS work so well????? DUH!
