People are dead and people have the audacity to just sweep it under the rug because it will continue to happen. Better not do anything about it then, since it'll continue to happen.
It's flawed logic AT BEST, and shows a poor mans Nihilistic views, but really just another internet edge lord thinking he's being unique by making less of a mass shooting.
Surtur and the dickhead who first responded are the epitome of fragile masculinity.

Lol!
I don't think anyone even said "do nothing". I assumed the point of the post was that things are getting better here, not worse. Yet every time this happens people act like there is a mass shooting epidemic.
I don't see what masculinity has to do with it.

There is a new study by the CDC showing a rise in gun deaths after years of decline.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/67/wr/mm6744a3.htm?s_cid=mm6744a3_w
It's impossible to know if it is a one-off or the start of a new continuous trend.

Remove suicides from that and then we have a discussion.
Suicides are up in many of the top 30 countries. That's because depression is up.

They do have a specific homicide section in the study
The rates of firearm homicide among persons of all ages during 2015–2016 varied widely among the 50 largest MSAs, ranging from 1.1 (Providence-Warwick) to 16.6 (New Orleans-Metairie) per 100,000 residents per year (Table). The rate for all large MSAs combined was 4.9, compared with a national rate of 4.4. This represents an increase from 2012–2013, when the rate for large MSAs combined was 4.1 and the national rate was 3.7. Between 2012–2013 and 2015–2016, firearm homicide rates increased for 43 (86%) of the 50 large MSAs considered individually.

So the national firearm homicide rate went from 3.7 in 2012–2013 to 3.9 in 2015-2016, per 100,000 people.
And increase of .2.
So what was the homicide rate in 2017? Trump claims homicides went down under his watch and it would appear to be true.
According to this site, it went down in the biggest cities and considering the majority of homicides come from big cities, likely, homicides went down:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/19/homicides-toll-big-u-s-cities-2017/302763002/
2015 had a firearm homicide rate of 4.0. So I guess 2016 went down?
Anyway, what's your point? That firearm homicides are doing better under Trump?

In order to jump that drastically, 2016 had to be pretty bad. Like I said, according to the CDC, gun homicides in 2015 were 4.0 per 100,000.
So if the average for those 2 years was 4.4, 2015 was 4.0, that means 2016's rate was 4.8
That's a huge jump.
Also, there are fewer homicides when the economy is doing well. So that might explain why 2017 (and probably 2018) have fewer homicides. In fact, if I had access to the data, I am wiling to bet that almost all the homicide rate drop is directly related to the booming economy (I'd need a correlation coefficient between economic growth and homicide rates per 100,000 then I'd just use that to figure out if a similar relationship exists in 2017 as prior years). And Trump's tax policy is at least a part of the reason why the stock markets have been doing well (it was very well received on Wall Street after it passed).

Right, I didn't think were posting something that supported Trump trying to take credit...but I had my suspicions.
