A Deep Dive into Mass Shooting Data (Rachel Maddow Hardest Hit)
“…Sun’s Out Gun’s Out! Mass shootings are back in the headlines. If the current trend continues, this could be the bloodiest summer in decades.
CNN wants us to think white supremacists and their cursed AR-15s are shooting up our restaurants, playgrounds, and nightclubs.
Let’s grab a shovel and dig up the facts.
The U.S. saw a nearly 50% mega-jump in mass shootings last year over previous years:
2017: 347 shootings
2018: 336 shootings
2019: 417 shootings
2020: 610 shootings
2021 looks to dwarf 2020. March of 2020 spawned 25 mass shootings whereas in March of this year we had a whopping 45. If the lefty media is correct, “angry Trump-lovin’ white men” have been busy beavers…
FINAL SHOOTING STATS
30.5 black or likely black shootings (67.7%)
7.5 Hispanic or likely Hispanic shootings (16.6%)
2 white or likely white shootings (4.4%)
1 Muslim (2.2%)
4 too little info to make a call (8.8%)
(Reminder: one shooting had two shooters, one black and one Hispanic)
Mass shootings in March don’t fit the liberal narrative, but Rachel Maddow is still pushing it, hoping for it to be true. Soon. Hopefully next month Rach.
