[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As soon as Orlando mass shooting hit news circuit Donald Trump renewed his call to ban Muslim immigration. I know in my gut that it is wrong to target a religion for a hate crime, however just to clarify my understanding I went looking for data...

Found this article: [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/mass-shootings-in-america/] The Math of Mass Shootings [/url]

Before blaming a religion understand that 7 out of the 129 (I counted based on names) seems to be Muslim. That is 0.05%. What about the religion of the rest? Should we blame the religions? Should we ban immigration from all countries where the shooters' heritage lie?

This article presents a lot of facts. Read and draw your own conclusions.

Why do we tend to respond to Hitler like rhetoric from Trump/(other hate mongers) when the blame is not directed to our own religion or ethnicity? When would we wake up?[/quote]

Beautiful. Exactly my point. But then the apologists will shout and rant about banning certain groups that is UNLIKE THEM. Why dont they shout about banning European immigrants when Tim Mcveigh or Dylan Roof or UNA bomber or the hundreds of white supremacists commit mass murders here? My point is keep the country open and free. We are not scared and run like headless chicken. Do not ban an entire group, whatever the group maybe, white or christian or muslim, that is irrelevant. Be judicious and not allow an immigrant from any group who has connections with any violent, radical group. Yes increase the wetting process, nothing wrong with it, BUT not an umbrella ban on ANY targeted group. [/quote]
