The media is shifty when it comes to mass shootings.
They decide which shootings we do and do not get to hear about. If a shooting doesn’t jive with the liberal narrative, you’re not likely to hear the gory details.
FACT-O-RAMA! In order to talk about mass shootings, we have to agree on the definition of what a mass shooting is. Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as four or more people shot, not including the shooter/shooters.
The recent mass shooting in Colorado Springs is the 601st mass shooting in 2022. There have been four mass shootings since then, but you likely haven’t about them. You probably didn’t hear about most of the previous 600 shootings, either. Why is that? Because the left is keeping secrets. Let’s talk about what they don’t want you to know about mass shootings and why, so you can dominate your commie relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Mass Shooting Secret #1: The AR-15 Is Not a Mass Shooter’s Weapon of Choice
The left likes to screech about the evils of AR-15s and their use in mass shootings. Some dolts whine that the AR-15 is the “preferred weapon” of mass shooting whackjobs. I rate this myth: five big, stinkin’ Pinocchios.
When you’re arguing at the Thanksgiving table with your liberal sister-in-law and her green-haired, trans-pan muxe-puke femme-boi?friend, she’ll go full-harpy on how AR-15s are the preferred weapons of mass shooters. This is odd, because even the Pravda-like lefty media outlet ABC News had to admit that’s false. As did Newsweek and The New York Times. Yet the left somehow still manages to convince their quislings that assault semi-automatic rifles are the problem. Why is that? We’ll discuss that in a bit.
Mass Shooting Secret #2: Most Mass Shooters Aren’t Angry White MAGA Dudes
No mass shooting argument is complete without a bolshie screeching that “angry, white men” are responsible for the lion’s share of mass shootings. Again, this lie warrants five whopper Pinocchios. Also, it’s where your lib-in-law will lose its gender-free mind when you show him/her/zhim this article.
As I’ve written before, most mass shootings are committed by black men. The media goes radio-silent when black dudes blaze up a rap concert, as we saw when three black men perforated more than 22 people in Miami in May of 2021. That story disappeared pretty quickly. As did a recent Halloween drive-by in Chicago that left 13 people injured, including three kids, and one man dead. No MAGA hats or white suspects were found.
Mass Shooting Secret # 3: Fudging the Numbers
The liberal guntards are happy to screech that mass shootings are on the rise. In fact, this is true. The nation saw 611 mass shootings in 2020, and we will easily beat that by the end of Thanksgiving weekend this year. There were 690 multiple-victim shootings in 2021.
The left likes to pull some gun-grabbing chicanery at this point. They are happy to point out the 600-plus mass shootings but conveniently leave out that most are drive-by, drug-related, gang-related, or just pointless party shootings. Again, this omission is likely due to the race of those spreading mad brass around our major cities. The commies will scream about the number of mass shootings (because it fits the narrative) while conveniently forgetting to mention who is pulling the triggers, as this wouldn’t work with the liberal brainwashing scheme.
New York’s gun-loathing governor, Kathy Hochul, can’t stop talking about the brutal May 14 mass shooting in her hometown of Buffalo, which left mostly black people killed and wounded, but hasn’t said a word about the Nov. 5 mass shooting in the same city that left four people injured. Nor has she mentioned the 45 mass shootings in Chicago this year. Is it because some lives matter more than others? Or because these shootings don’t help the commie cause?
Mass Shooting Secret # 4: Mass Shootings Are a Tiny Proportion of Gun Murders
As of today, Gun Violence Archive states that roughly 15,608 people have been murdered with guns in 2022. (This doesn’t count defensive shootings and unintentional shootings.) Of those, around 545 people were killed in mass shootings. This means mass shootings make up 3.49% of all gun-related murders. Yet, the apparatchiks in the mainstream media would have us believe mass shootings are a major cause of death in the United States.
SHOCK-O-RAMA! More than 500 Americans are hit by lightning every year, making the chance of getting killed in a mass shooting and getting hit by lightning about the same.
What Have We Learned?
We have learned that the media is very picky about which mass shootings make — and stay in — the headlines. If the shooting doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s almost like it never happened.
We know that those big, scary AR-15s — and those pesky high-capacity magazines — aren’t the weapon of choice for mass shooters, though the bum lickers in the liberal news media would have us think otherwise.
We also figured out that mass shootings make up a tiny fraction of murders in the nation, yet they get most of the media ink. And we learned most shooters aren’t drooling white men in MAGA hats.
So what gives?
There are two bogus narratives oozing out of the liberal press: White guys are the biggest domestic problem facing the nation; and AR-15s pose a threat to the population. Neither is true.
My humble opinion is that the Democrats have been hijacked by globalists who want us unarmed. You know — the way Hitler, Stalin, and Mao wanted their people defenseless. If a government wants its population unarmed, they are probably up to no good.
The leftists are using mass shootings to take away the AR-15. They happily stand on the bodies of dead kids, gay people, and anyone else viciously murdered in a mass shooting to propagate their lies. I almost think they look forward to these violent incidents.
Now that you know how to trounce your commie-in-laws in a verbal joust, let’s start out the Thanksgiving weekend with some laughs. Here’s another great video by my friends at Jokes and a Point. Remember, liberals are miserable, self-hating merry andrews. Conservatives know how to have fun.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Tell them all about Kennesaw, GA’s gun law requiring all households to be armed for past forty years in a 1/4 black city and how it affects violence stats (spoiler: it’s safe there).
Totally off-topic, though it refutes the official narrative, like guns making things safer, not worse:
ALERT! The cause of all those heart attacks is those who claim that “vaccination” is the cause of all those heart attacks: “The science” is now telling us that all those people “dying suddenly” post-“vaccination” have, in fact, been stressed to death by “anti-vaxxers”

Shameless.
I’m not sure who’s more twisted, you or me. It makes me kind of proud to think that I could kill a shit load of idiots using nothing more than the 1st Amendment as my murder weapon.
That’s demi-god level Hannibal Lechter shit right there!
Now I know why my Government wants to kill me. I’m fucking Charles Xavier !
The last two mass shootings to make the national news:
One was a White non binary 22 yo
One was a Black 30 yo, not sure of which of 32 human identities applies.

You raise the temperature another degree or two and they’re BOTH gonna be true…so I think it’s just a matter of perspective and timing.
Legislation will do absolutely nothing to mitigate that problem. It may, however, exacerbate it.
I think I won’t use the argument “hey, out of 15,000 gun murders this year only 500 were mass murders!”. Maybe just stick to the 3% figure but leave the 15,000 bit out.
It’s virtually all blacks killing each other with illegal weapons. You are such a scumbag. Are you Langley, or just some random asshole with no life?
Anon newbies. Aren’t they a stupid bunch.
If by “virtually all” you mean slightly under 50% of perps are black, less however many aren’t via illegal weapons (whatever the hell that means when the 2nd says that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed) then by golly, you would be right. But where I come from virtually all doesn’t mean under 50%.
The term “mass” is itself misleading. I think muh junk is massive, but what is a summer sausage compared to the Empire State building?
Most mass shootings don’t occur during mass.
Weird, I know.
Ah, yes. The lighter side of mass shootings. Y’know where else mass shootings don’t occur? In Mass. (-achusetts). That’s pronounced Mass-Ah-CHOO!-setts. It’s a gun-free place. Disarmament of the innocent: it’s nothing to sneeze at.
MA is 9% black, with the national average 50% higher than that. What correlates with mass shootings? Gee, I wonder. Also, it has a heavy percentage of peaceable Asians and whites, and is also has a Hispanic population well under the national average.
I love it when people crow about how well their laws work, when the makeup of the population is disproportionately law abiding types and not of those that commit the majority of the violent crime.
Last Thursday, November 17, minutes after it opened for the day, a small bank in the island town of Vineyard Haven was invaded by three armed masked men. They threatened, subdued, and duct-taped the employees and proceeded to make off in a stolen car with an undetermined amount of cash — after brandishing semiautomatic handguns to intimidate the bank personnel.
Nothing like this crime has ever been seen on Martha’s Vineyard…
At press time, only one of the three reported bank robbers — allegedly the getaway driver, who is from Jamaica — has been arrested.
Off-topic grammar-Nazi. Ignore if you wish.

Sincerely, NOT that anon.
Be a fag then. you do you…dude.
#5. All mass shooters are on big pharma drugs. Big pharma drugs are a gateway to the satanic forces. Read the side effects. May lead to delusions, suicidal thoughts, etc… This is code for they will F**k you up, and you are now a minion of the Satanic forces.
These are the last people on the plane that retailers hire, there’s a reason for that because they steal everything to feed their meth/crack habit.
