"Though cisgender straight (usually white) men are the overwhelming majority of mass shooters in the US."

With black men overwhelmingly being the perpetrators of gun violence generally...

Why would you write a post about not dividing people, and then single out heterosexual (or "cisgendered") white men?

Seems a little disingenuous...

You just did exactly what I'm talking about... trying to divide people by changing mass shooters and assassins to "gun violence generally" to make this about race. I stated a fact about mass shooters. Trump is the one trying to ban a specific group from gun ownership, not me.

So you mentioning white men wasn't about race?

How did you miss the bit where I just did exactly what you did but changed black to white?

What does Charlie Kirk's shooting have to do with mass shootings?

I think you need to reread my original post.

I think you need to.

You can’t have an extreme hormonal imbalance and be trusted with a gun… if you think this is a good idea, you have no idea 🤣

I don't want that to become a valid argument, as that sort of thing is easily aimed at women and would require a government reading of a blood tests and/or medical records to enforce.

it's a form of technocratic tyranny, like part of what happened to psychiatry, which is supposed to be a science of the organic sources of bad and maladaptive behaviour. the problem is that such power tends to attract the very kind of people who need that diagnosis done on them and put them away for life for the medical malpractise they engage in.

Well said
