Today, there was another mass school shooting.
Not by a MUSLIM. Not by an immigrant.
By an AMERICAN.
ARMED DOMESTIC TERRORISM
The US has a massive GUN ISSUE that too many are silencing.
Below, is a graph and comment from a blog post that address the reality:
Mass shootings in U.S. are an almost daily event
About 64 percent of the shooters were white men, according to a survey by Mother Jones, about the same as the white percentage of the total population. Black people were 16 percent of the total shooters, Asians were 9 percent and Latinos, native Americans and people of unknown ethnicity made up the rest.
The typical mass shooter is a young man obsessed with weapons and images of violence, frustrated with work, school or relationships, with a history of minor acts of violence. Mark Follman wrote a good article in the current issue of Mother Jones about efforts to identify potential mass shooters, and turn them away from violence. Possibly a lot of violent incidents have been headed off this way.
