Why do liberals care more about illegal immigrants?

This is how half the people here seem to picture me

Nobody thinks you're a Nazi, Sly.

I didn't know you were a member of The Furred Reich Sly

I guess if you don’t mine not having any freedom or rights but if you do it’s just as bad.
But sorry half the nation isn’t a bunch of super racists there’s maybe 10,000 such people in the nation Max. Stop trying to make it out to be worse then it is.

I googled it. Was between this and tails from sonic , but she’s not a fox.
There was another one with paw print instead of swastka.

This I find but I can’t find any fox wearing maga hat pics as all it brings up is some actor

It was a joke, my previous post said "doesn't every group have a toxic underbelly?"

But seriously countries with strict gun control never really have mass shootings. You could probably find a few but they are very rare. And violent protesters are no match for riot police

The stats used in the news sources cited above stating there have been 307 mass shootings thus far in 2018 are from the Gun Violence Archive. Okay, let’s look a little deeper into the GVA. The mission statement on their website states it is a “non-profit corporation formed in 2013 to provide free online public access to accurate information about gun related violence in the United States.”

We dug into the website’s “mass shooting” report for 2018. We filtered the list by lowest deaths to highest. Immediately 11 out of the 13 pages were disqualified, as there were between 0 and 3 deaths per incident. That means right away, 287 incidents out of 307 do not qualify as a mass shooting by definition. In fact, 155 of these incidents resulted in zero deaths. This is unbelievable.

That leaves only two pages to dig through. The most common theme with the remaining list of incidents is that they were primarily either family or domestic violence related. Using the definition used by the CRS, that removes all but six shootings that actually count as a public mass shooting. Yes folks, there have only been SIX mass shootings this year in the United States – not 307.

Here are the six qualifying incidents:

February 14, 2018, Broward County Florida (Parkland), 17 dead, 17 injured.
April 22, 2018, Antioch, Tennessee, 4 dead, 3 injured.
May 18, 2018, Santa Fe Texas, 10 dead, 13 injured.
June 28, 2018 Annapolis, Maryland, 5 dead, two injured.
October 27, 2018, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 11 dead, 7 injured.
November 7, 2018, Thousand Oaks, California, 13 dead, 2 injured.

Six mass shootings compared to 307 is a substantial difference. The media easily plays off the ignorance of the public, taking advantage of the fact that there is not a universal definition of “mass shooting”, and blowing up an issue that, although very tragic, is only part of a larger picture of violent crime, most of which does not involve firearms.

You only win that round by semantics.

still, someone shooting up a school is pretty awful

I made you one

I knew they were around, but Trump really brought them out into the public eye. Obama did too, I guess a black man in the white house made them lose their minds.

Whatever happened to conservatives conserving this tradition: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” ?

Point being is other nations have different definitions that the USA media would call mass shootings or school shootings but never makes the news cause it’s not considered such in those nations.
The USA isn’t anymore dangerous then Europe.

It is but it doesn’t justify banning guns and making 100 million people criminals to be locked up in an already crowded prison system as much as the prisons would love the money.
