So the data i posted initially was from 1966 to 2019. Using that data this person would be correct. However they state that 20% of mass shootings have occurred in the last 5 years. The link i posted afterwards is a more recent analysis of mass shootings in that 5 year span where we can clearly see more right wing white males are the perpetrators. The bigger issue and what i addressed is that regardless of what excuse maga have they still ignore it. Even if you ignore that theyre the biggest perpetrators of this in recent years, they still haven't done anything about the issues for the last 50+ years. They ignore mental health, gun laws, etc. Instead they ban drag book readings and deport against court orders. Yet kids arent dying from drag book readings. I do not agree with this person and they are very much wrong. Its not really a complicated issue. Expanding access to mental healthcare and placing reasonable gun laws would slash this drastically. But current maga admin are actively cutting mental health access and refuse to touch guns. A study i would like to see is if in recent years maga are suffering from more mental health disorders. It would make their projections of TDS make a lot more sense.
