  1. The eloquent quote from the New York Times in the quoted skeet below aligns closely with my piece from last year on the whole question of the #motives of #massshooters: often the search for a "motive" will lead us to something most of us won't comprehend. doncurren.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...

    The Killer’s “Motive”: Examini...

  2. Since the dumb #MainstreamMedia won't answer the question about transgender shooters lest they upset Trump, I looked it up, There has been 5 #transgender #MassShooters in #America in the last ten years. 5 out of over 3,000.

  3. While many self-styled pundits race to attribute coherent “motives” to #massshooters and thus score some cheap political and ideological points, the idea of #motive might not be a very useful or relevant one in many #massshootings, as I argued last year. doncurren.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...

    The Killer’s “Motive”: Examini...

  4. The vast majority of mass shooters in the U.S. have been cisgender white males. The numbers don’t lie. It’s a simple, verifiable fact that cannot be credibly disputed or disproven.

  5. NY Times: Profound Damage Found in Maine Gunman’s Brain, Possibly From Blasts

    "A specialized laboratory examining the brain of the gunman who committed Maine’s deadliest mass shooting found profound brain damage of the kind that has been seen in veterans exposed to repeated blasts from weapons use.... The gunman, Robert Card, was a grenade instructor in the Army Reserve. In 2023, after eight years of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing voices and was stalked by paranoid delusions, his family said. "

  6. @ThomHartmann I don't know about you, but how many people could charge $25,000 worth of ammunition to their credit card?

    And EVEN IF the shooter were wealthy, two things:

    1) Suddenly purchasing tens of thousands of dollars worth of ammunition would raise red flags.

    2) The number of shooters who can afford to do that is STILL a tiny FRACTION of the total number of #MassShooters out there (putting a significant dent in the number of #MassShootings.)

    Would do as much OR MORE than a gun ban.

  7. [Factcheck] The #data is clear: There is absolutely no ‘#epidemic’ of #transgender #massshooters.

    Far from any epidemic of trans mass shooters, the evidence shows that people identifying as transgender are not committing mass murder at a rate higher than their percentage of the population. Conservative commenters and politicians should not be so quick to make such claims without placing the facts in context.

  8. @TeaPain We all know it has nothing to do with #freedom and everything to do with turning #USA into a fiefdom for global oligarchs. #putin has to spend money to slaughter #ukrainian schoolchildren. Imagine a system that does the same thing but to that country’s own children by volunteer #massshooters who pay for the privilege? Has anything so evil ever happened in history? #gop #gunmanufacturers #oligarchs #greed

  9. If #massshooters shot up nursing homes instead of #schools, #guns would be banned tomorrow. Old voters don't actually care about the kids.
  10. It’s about time these careless gun-humper parents are held responsible. These are the real groomers, grooming their kids to be the next general#tiin of #RepublicanTerrorists and #MassShooters

  11. The #GunIndustry is rolling out the latest generation of grooming tools to indoctrinate the next generation of #MassShooters and #RepublicanTerrorists.

    Anything for #GunIndustryProfits no matter how many Americans are slaughtered every single year.

    This is an American plague.

    This is American choice.
