Ok anti gun nut liberals here is a question

Why don't you care about gang shootings? They happen everyday and are where most mass shootings come from.

Oh wait I know, liberals don't give a damn if minorities kill each other, only when a white person does it.

If you truly gave a shit about gun violence you would be protesting daily about the murders done by gang members daily with illegally aquired firearms. But wait. That doesn't fit your agenda.

1. Not all liberals are anti - gun.

2. Not all liberals are nuts.

3. Who says they don't care about gangs? No one is saying that.

4. Most mass shootings are not by gangs; there's not even an accepted definition of 'mass shooting.'

5. Who said liberals don't care about minorities? Or that only one cause at a time can be addressed?

6. Why aren't all conservatives up in arms about the suicide rate, since it accounts for nearly 60% of gun violence question mark do conservatives hate depressed people?

See how stupid it sounds?

isn’t a mass shooting 4 or more people at one time? I thought that was the definition...@Graylight
@Graylight as far as number 4 is concerned. The media defines a mass shooting where 4 people are shot, not necessarily killed.

As far as gangs, you should here how the liberals I work with talk about them.

Numbers one and two, I will agree to 50/50 on that.

Number 5. Are you fucking serious? Lol. Unless you're a minority liberal the rest just play lip service to not be accused of being racist.

Number 6. Suicide is a problem I will admit and that is both a conservative AND liberal failure.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@NiftyWhite No. Some say 3 people need to be involved, others say four. Some differentiate shooting that happened on school grounds from shootings that don't while other jurisdictions treat them all the same. There is no one standardized definition of mass shooting therefore we can't really analyze the topic yet.

@MarineBob sadly this is true criminals won't respect the laws
JP1119 · 36-40, M
@MarineBob No, we ban drunk driving. But of course that doesn’t work you know, because criminals don’t obey laws and will drive drunk even though it’s illegal.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@JP1119 Lets unban it if it doesn’t work 🤷‍♂️

Gang members live and die by the gun a gang related killing is not the same as a family getting gunned down while shopping.
WeighedDown · 36-40, M
@Scubaguy027 which is worse a criminal targeting criminals with guns obtained illegally or a criminal targeting innocent civilians with a gun purchased legally?
katielass · F
@WeighedDown No, not true. repubs' polices actually help blacks as well as everyone else.
WeighedDown · 36-40, M
@katielass republicans help the rich while they piss on the poor, if they are so good for black people why do so few black people vote republican

Here's a better question you poor, persecuted white boy. How could you POSSIBLY think the anti-gun nut liberals don't care about gang shootings? Do you think that maybe, jusssst maybe, stricter gun laws across the board would reduce those killings? I mean, that's what the stats show and you know how the liberal elitists just loooooove their truth and facts. I know that bothers you little boys who prefer belief.
Just wish you real Americans would grow a fucking pair. Sure would make it better for the rest of us.

Maybe they would tell you that if gangs didn’t have guns it would also be harder for them to kill each other also.

Too bad trumpsters are so rabidly against updating the guns laws. Could possibly put a dent in both problems.

Well what about you, do you care enough about minorities killing each other? Would you be willing to help end gang violence in these communities?

[quote]Why don't you care about gang shootings?[/quote]

We do! But every time there is a discussion about regulating guns, applying strict gun laws in states where they're lax, setting universal background checks, and the like it's, ya'll er gunna take er guns away! So nothing gets done.
Plus, you do know there are liberals who live these areas where gang violence is common and they put in a great deal of effort to end this cycle, right? It's not like NO ONE who is liberal does anything about this issue.

@Northwest I love how you never actually answer a question except BS like this or crap that really has nothing to do with the question
So just to be sure I'm following your jibberish......the anti gun people are in favor of shootings? That means to you those that hate guns like shootings ?

That bothers me very much. I hate how politicians ignore the poor because they don't vote or contribute to campaigns.
Gang violence is a different, albeit related issue, and nobody much likes it, regardless of whether they're liberal or conservative (Trump's MS13 rants contradict me, which makes me pretty sure I'm on solid ground).

At the same time, nobody much cares all that much if gang members shoot each other, as long as it doesn't get too close to your home or have civilian casualties.

But I'm really missing your point. Are you trying to point out hypocrisy for some reason?

Does it make you feel better about yourself because you think you're superior?

Does criticizing the other make it easier in some way?

Or is it just fun to fight?

Ironically, gun control measures are far more effective against low-level criminals than they are against the lone determined psycho scenario. That’s where the biggest impact would be. And in case you were wondering, every time some leftie gets up on a soap box and goes on about XXX firearm deaths in America every year, guess what that includes - inner city gun violence.

Liberals are kind of retarded a lot of the time, but they [i]do[/i] want to introduce some sort of sensible gun control scheme, and attempt to tackle systemic poverty that feeds crime. Conservative position is a lot more straightforward:

Gang members don’t give two shits about gun laws anyway! Guns will always exist and be here... period!
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Spokeskitties75 Gang members don’t give a shit about gun laws. And they never will. It’s not their compliance that makes a difference, it’s the rise in black market prices. At a certain point, low level guys simply stop being able to afford guns.
