Nothing quite like using a tragedy to let you shit on minorities some more...
Anyway, if you want to go down this road, let's take a look at the actual numbers, shall we.
Number of mass shootings in the US as per Wikipedia:
2018 -
3222019 -
4412020 -
6152021 -
6982022 -
6952023 so far -
123Total = 2894
Number committed by trans persons = 4
Percentage of shooters who are trans = 0.1%
Percentage of adults who are trans =
0.5%So that leaves 99.9% (or 2890 out of 2894) of shootings which did not involve trans people, and means trans people are 5 times
less likely to commit a mass shooting than expected.
I'll give you one guess as to which demographic commits
more mass shootings than would be expected.
Christ, I knew there has been a problem with gun violence in the United States there latest years but I had no idea it was a phenomenon which as growing this fast. It is insane. One wonders what it is supposed to happen before something is done to step down those numbers.
I have got a friend how lives in USA and recently got a job as a teacher and I am seriously concerned about him.
Also, I believe there are some members of the LGBTQ+ community which does not help their collective to make people think rationally, through some messages which many can find unsuitable in this context.
