Mass shootings

[Firemedic2000]

I was courious about this phenomenon that seems to have for whatever reason explode since 2021. I looked up stats on this compared to 2019. I left out 2020 because it was an election year you figure it out.

Either way 2021 is well on it's way of bypassing 2020 though.

Here are the numbers.

2019 mass shootings.

There were 434 mass shootings in 2019 that fit the inclusion criteria of this article, resulting in 517 deaths and 1,643 injuries, for a total of 2,160 victims.

2021 mass shootings as of May 31st not counting June. That said there is 26 in June counting todays. Some of those were 2 mass shootings on the same day different parts of country.

As of May 31, 247 mass shootings fit the Mass Shooting Tracker project criterion, leaving 283 people dead and 1,005 injured, for a total of 1,288 total victims, some including the shooter(s).

You can read the charts and see a lot happened at parties, outside bars, drive by shootings ect. Use your imagination on this these and others.

Any how thought I'd share this little bit of info. But question why the uptick all of a sudden Why is there mass shootings it seems to happening almost every day. Like another just happened today. I'm open to any ideas. I tried looking at locations ect. You know like the commie states compared to free states. But remember the mass exodus also from commie states to free states.

Before I end this. There was one story that really bothered me. It was not a mass shooting. But still horrific. To me anyways. This is so sad and enraged me to no end. Here's link to story.

Some are due to the lock downs. It had a huge effect on younger people's mental halt stability. Yet another "unforseen circumstances" couple that with the rapidly declining morals of society and it is not much of a stretch to see the results of that combined with idiotic social media.

Perhaps the Gang Bangers now have a flood of new troops from the open boarders policies on the southern boarder to use as a result of Beijing Joe and the Kommies being in charge?

Maybe to both responses who knows. It just seems everytime a uh....democrat get's into office these things increase. Then are used to push their antigun adgenda. To ban evil guns for their safety. Most certainly not ours. Either way with the help of their socialist mouth piece call NEWS outlets their nonstop everyday reporting on mass shootings. It like WTF is going on. What's changed so much as to cause this. It just blows my mind

The definition feeds the narrative and the storyline is more important than the details.

A gang member shoots indiscriminately at a rival gang's stash house
Past: Drive by shooting
Now: Mass shooting

A dude shoots his entire family to start a new life with a mistress
Past: Family Annihilatior
Now: Mass shooting

A person gets fired, comes back and kills a bunch of coworkers
Past: Workplace Violence
Now: Mass shooting

A fight at a party leads to a shooting, several attendees twist ankles running away
Past: Guy gets shot at a party
Now: Mass shooting

A person flips and shoots his boss, then goes and shoots everyone who wronged him from the Barista who misspelled his name and the neighbor who didn't pick up after their dog.
Past: Spree Killer
Now: Mass shooting



The idea to group all of these under a single umbrella to push up numbers has resonated with large swaths of people. And despite handguns being the most common device in all shootings, the target of the narrative is the banning of rifles that are cosmetically frightening to those with minimal firearms experience.

I understand the definition of mass shootings. But why now. Why are more being committed since this socialists Democrat party occupies our capital. It's as if somebody flipped a switch to turn on these nuts committing these acts.

This is not a sometimes incident either. It's everytime this socialists extremist Democrat party occupies our capital. These mass shootings by definition go up. Why is this. Does this party of TREASON have sleeper cells that get's activated when ever they some how steal power from the people. Cells they activated. So as to provide the reasoning behind them rewriting our Bill of Rights essentially by means of this regulation that they tout to have the power to use to destroy the Bill of Rights. Thus bypassing the legal way to change our Bill of Rights. Remember their champion Hillary said all rights are open to reasonable regulation. Reasonable by who's standards. I'm kidding of coarse on that statement about sleeper cells

Then if not going after our constitution and the bill of rights was not bad enough. They are destroying our economy. Inflation started the moment these SOCIALIST started their regulation of our power resources, immigration, commerce ect.....gas will go to five bucks a gallon, food prices jumping and cost of goods going up. Industry moving back overseas. Everything is going to hell.

Oh and let's not forget this shot thing. For a pandemic you need to be tested for to see if you have it. Then paid or bribed to take their shot for. Then demanding a passport to show your taken this experimental drug in order to live, work, to provide for your family. Something these SOCIALIST consider a privilege now instead of a right to do. They demand we bow down to their will.

But just on the surface it would look that way if you look back through history. Because again these mass shooting spike when ever they have gotten power.

My question is why does this happen

“Domestic Terrorism” is now our greatest threat according to the socialists. They lump mass shootings, racial targeting, white supremacy into the term Domestic Terrorism. Yes they are going to make the leap and call gun control a tool to combat domestic terrorism. They are calling culling social media of objectionable material, combating domestic terrorism. It’s odd how everyone was screaming Orwellian Totalitarism with Trump yet the brainwashing and rewriting history has never been more rampant.

There may be a slight uptick with the added pandemic stress and lack of opportunity to become a media star last year, but I really feel that most of the problem is the methodology. Overall, when you remove the over half of firearms deaths that occur from suicide, the numbers look relatively flat and trending down when population growth is factored.

With the change in tallying methods, and lack of uniform reporting the number skew... in 2021 it says we had 187 mass shootings through April of this year. Moving back through the dataset:
1999 - 5
2000 - 1
2001 - 1
2002 - 0
2003 - 1
2004 - 1
2005 - 2

They sit there with a straight face and pretend that not a single person in 2002 shot at 3 people with at least one injury reported?

It's the same with the autism numbers... they used to have a million diagnosis' and a very narrow autism definition where now they use autism as the blanket term and a spectrum view. So if you make a chart, all of a sudden it looks like the numbers exploded. The numbers stayed relatively the same, but the definition changed and no one went back to put the old data under the same lens. Pair that with a researcher who wants to become rich and famous at all costs and we end up with the anti-vax movement...
