Re: Guns in the USA | Shooting the news
If the community is unwilling and/or unable to fix the problem itself,
I doubt that politicians, progressive or regressive, can do anything to fix it short of an inhumane scorched earth policy.
The annual number of homicides in Chicago was significantly higher when I lived there
reaching the 2nd highest all-time peak.
Interesting that the number of homicides in 1928 is comparable to the current number,
which suggests that legalizing illicit drugs might be one way to proceed.

Re: Guns in the USA | Shooting the news
The Orlando Shooter was a registered Democrat. The Tucson shooter's mother a local Democrat official. Likely used her connections to keep her son out of trouble. Yet the MSM jumped on the story that the Tucson shooter was a radical right winger. Hense the push backTyphoon wrote:Citatations?
Those I confirmed.
The Ft Hood Shooter was a radical Muslim that the Obama admin policies allowed him to perpetuate his hate while in the Military service as part of its diversity policies. His political philosophy put him more in tune with the left of the political spectrum and he was allowed to follow his path to Ft Hood by the Obama Admin.
The VA shooter sent hate mail to George W Bush. Had a green card therefore not eligible to vote.
The others I don't have the time to thoroughly check out.
Charleston Church shooter father physically abused mother. Despite having long term African American friends radicalized by white supremacist ideology. Told several people including a black friend of his plans No one believed he was going to do it. Stated that he almost did not do the shooting because the people in the church were so nice to him. Sounds more like a hopeless cry for help to me of someone that felt they had a meaningless life.*
Columbine shooters physically abused and humiliated in their high school by other students on a regular basis.
Connecticut shooter raped by priest when 6 years old.
Colorado theater shooter first described as a republican erroneously then as a democrat erroneously. Apparently unregistered.
Most common physical thread: prescription of psychiatric drugs.

Mr. Junger’s premise is simple: Modern civilization may be swell, giving us unimaginable autonomy and material bounty. But it has also deprived us of the psychologically invaluable sense of community and interdependence that we hominids enjoyed for millions of years. It is only during moments of great adversity that we come together and enjoy that kind of fellowship — which may explain why, paradoxically, we thrive during those moments. (In the six months after Sept. 11, Mr. Junger writes, the murder rate in New York dropped by 40 percent, and the suicide rate by 20 percent.)

Black patriots putting the 2A to its intended use? Not since 1776 has the tree of liberty been watered.
But in all seriousness, how will the GOP react to the realization that armed black people might actually fight back? Expect the NRA to start lobbying for strict gun control.

Murder at 51 year low. Everything is going great.
https://mises.org/blog/fbi-us-homicide-rate-51-year-low
https://mises.org/blog/fbi-us-homicide-rate-51-year-low
The US homicide rate in 2014, the most recent year available, was 4.5 per 100,000. The 2014 total follows a long downward trend and is the lowest homicide rate recorded since 1963 when the rate was 4.6 per 100,000. To find a lower homicide rate, we must travel back to 1957 when the total homicide rate hit 4.0 per 100,000.
Homicide rates were considerably higher in the United States during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, but over the past 25 years, have fallen nearly continuously.

Black folks have been fighting back for decades. The death tolls in your Democrat cities is epic.But in all seriousness, how will the GOP react to the realization that armed black people might actually fight back?
Well gun control didn't work in San Bernadino or Paris, let alone Brussels, so we'll just go back to staying out of Democrat cities and we'll do fine.Expect the NRA to start lobbying for strict gun control.

Murder rates low but unjustified anti-black bias persists, with lethal consequences: A Multi-Level Bayesian Analysis of Racial Bias in Police Shootings at the County-Level in the United States, 2011–2014
Time to have a substantive and long-overdue conversation about race. It's going to happen and there will be policy changes, whether you like it or not. Up to you whether you accept with dignity or not but the tide is turning.

Re: Ten+ Officers Shot in Dallas
That should be captured by race-specific local crime rates, which the study considered and found no correlation to. If black crime rates are higher, then the probability of encounters with the police increases. But as has long been argued, blacks are more likely to be profiled, which one would expect to lead to higher likelihood of police violence against them.
