The deadliest mass shooting in US history committed by... A White male.

Imagine Trump's response to this had it been committed by a Muslim.

There is no evidence to suggest that gun control actually causes a reduction in gun violence.


Nor has anyone ever done a fair randomised control trial to see whether parachutes help the gravitationally challenged.
If this was committed by a 64 year old Muslim with "no connections to terrorist organisations" would it also not be being called a terrorist attack?

In addition to the above, do you know why a deficiency in gun-violence research might exist? Because america, where the vast majority of gun violence occurs, banned gun violence research 20 years ago and continues to do so.
no words
400 injured now... 😭

Check the latest news update.....
ISIS is legit retarded i swear, do they literally claim repaobility for anything without even checking the news lmao

Pretty obvious that it was a mentally deranged white guy using Nevada's lax gun laws to his advantage to kill innocent civilians. You don't see attacks like this anywhere else, America sort your gun problems out. Stop letting mentally deranged people buy military style equipment without even a background check

271 mass shootings this year alone, 11572 dead and 23365 injured. Syria or America?
ISIS will be claiming responsibility for my Hemorrhoids before too long.

Imbeciles!

"Companion" identified as Marilou Danley, of Asian descent.

In the words of the officer on CNN, not my words before you @me.

It remains the case that right wing white terrorists and perpetrators of racist violence have caused far more deaths in the US in recent years than all the Islamist extremists put together and that's even if you count 9/11. US cops with racist motivations have killed more black people than the 9/11 bodycount.

Better send in the drones.

It's long been the case that the places most in need of UN intervention are US inner cities.

Oh, Christ. I even put a second comment in my post which I shall repeat here.

"In the words of the officer on CNN, not my words before you @me."

You have seemed to have ignored that completely, I was simply repeating what the officer and news outlets were saying.

What a non-issue.

Think about when the post you're quoting was mentioned...

Don't react to it as though it was posted 5 minutes ago, you only make yourself look a bit thick.
I think it's important to note that the shooter was white.
