I’m not really sure what that’s supposed to mean, but it sounds ridiculous.

White men are killing people. Let’s do something about that, mmm’k?


It means that men generally, and not of a specific race, are committing way too much violence using guns. We shouldn’t regard gun violence as a race issue. Although if you pressed me, I guess I couldn’t point to many instances of Asian men making headlines for gun violence.


You would be wrong then. Plenty of Asian male shooters. BTW did you know that many islamic terrorists are Asian?

Focusing on white men alone is racist.

100% agree. We need gun confiscations ASAP. A ban on new guns dies absolutely nothing to reduce the millions of guns already on the street. Without a plan to take those away, it’s just platitudes. You could halt sales of all guns and bullets tomorrow and mass shootings would keep on happening like nothing even changed.


And who is going to do the confiscations? You? The police in the Deep South states are not going to enforce any law regarding gun confiscations passed here in DC.

You can write all the crap you want on DCUM because it cost you nothing, and you do not have to back it up.

However, you do not have the guts to fly to Mobile, AL (or anyplace else in the Deep South) and start taking away people's guns. The people there are not going to give them up without a fight, and it is a fight you are not equipped to win.





We’re constantly told how law abiding gun owners are. You’re telling me they’re actually would-be cop killers? Good to know.

If you're afraid of having your face eaten by a leopard do you then go out and get a leopard to hang out in your house?

You're the one making this a racial issue vs a violence issue.

Please explain why you believe we should take action against gun violence perpetrated by white men but not men of color.

A 20-year-old & a 12-year-old went to a Sonic in Texas. The 20 year-old started urinating in the parking lot.

A Sonic employee confronted the urinating young man. The 12 year old got out a car with an assault rifle and shot dead the sonic employee.

The 20 year old the 12 year old are charged with murder.

"An 18-year-old gunman fired indiscriminately while roaming a residential street in Farmington, N.M., on Monday morning, killing three people before the police arrived and killed the suspect, the authorities said. Six other people, including two officers, were injured.

The authorities received several reports of shots fired near Dustin Avenue and Ute Street just before 11 a.m., Chief Steve Hebbe of the Farmington Police Department said in a video statement released on Monday night, adding that the rampage appeared to be purely random."

Before white men can really up the death numbers they need gun confiscation like in Germany , China and USSR. Need to get the numbers up to tens of millions without getting shot.
