I guess I'm curious, do people feel what happened in Chicago over the weekend deserves as much coverage as mass shootings?You see...if you only care about mass shootings done by white supremacists and only focus on those, you do not care about gun violence. You care about white supremacy. Which is fine, but it is not the same as caring about gun violence.
If you target guns like AK-47s and ignore the many many more deaths by handguns and advocate for weapon bans that have been proven not to work...you also do not care about gun violence. I can point out mass shootings with higher body counts than el paso where only handguns were used. The one in Virginia from 4-5 years ago is one. You will not be able to stop these kinds of tragedies by getting rid of guns like AK-47s, etc.
This is an argument for a federal gun control policy.
