As The Hill reports, Congressional Democrats, 2020 presidential candidates and others have rushed to draw comparisons between the motives of the El Paso shooter and Trump’s immigration rhetoric and suggested he helped fuel the environment that led to the attack. “Let’s be very clear about what is causing this and who the president is. He is an open avowed racist and encouraging more racism in this country,” former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), whose hometown is El Paso, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Notably, however, even Trump nemesis, former FBI Director, Jim Comey admitted in his latest op-ed (albeit in the 20th paragraph) that: "...according to a 'manifesto' widely attributed to him, the Texas terrorist who killed at least 20 people in El Paso on Saturday wasn’t directly motivated by Donald Trump..." The president ignored shouted questions about whether the El Paso shooter's anti-immigrant manifesto shared similarities with his rhetoric and noted instead that the shootings are part of “a mental illness problem.” The president then added that he had spoken to Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Ohio and Texas governors as well as members of Congress. “We have to get it stopped,” he said. “This has been going on for years, for years and years in our country.” He added that "perhaps" more needs to be done with respect to gun control.  Trump added that he will deliver a formal statement on Monday at 10 a.m. Monday at the White House. On Saturday, a gunman entered an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 20 people and wounding 26 others. Less than 24 hours later, at least nine people were killed and 26 more injured when 24-year-old Connor Betts of Bellbrook Ohio used a .223 caliber rifle to open fire at a crowd on East 5th street in the city's popular downtown Oregon district.

You are more likely to be beaten to death by human fist/feet than a rifle, period. And all those combined will not touch being stabbed to death! The number 1 problem is mental illness and the left refuses to address the real reason. Truth is once you remove gangs out of the equation America is one of the safest places to live in the world. Just about the same amount of people are shot and killed in Chicago on a weekend(50shot/6killed on average). Its not the gun its the person. The people are mentally ill and have shown that they want to murder people but no one in government will listen or give a damn until blood is spilt.

What is mentally ill is the obsession with the gun. There is a complete disconnect between the fact that the AR-15 is the weapon of choice for these urban terrorists and its availability. People buy these guns and yet it must be obvious to someone that there is something odd about the situation. Everyone is wise after the fact about the shooter.. Let us examine this for a moment. There are millions of illegal handguns available but the weapon of choice is this "sporting" weapon. Why? because you don't have to go down a dark alley and associate with criminal types to buy one. These weapons belong in armories when not in use paraclete  posted on  2019-08-05   21:36:02 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #7. To: paraclete (#6) That's kind of like Hitler disarming the Jews.

To: buckeroo, Pinguinite (#8) Pinguinite: Mass shooting deaths are on par with getting killed by lightning. Buekeroo: Do you really believe that you can equate random physical characteristics of the Universe with irrational human behavior? That was a really stupid question to ask. You must remember that Pinguinite is a libertarian. Anyone using sound practical judgment and having a discerning mind would be fully conscious of the fact that libertarians believe only what they want to believe. Therefore, instead of asking such a dumbass question – just check the data? Had you checked, then you would have found references showing the odds of death in mass shooting (US only): 1 in 11,125 while the odds of death by lightning strike (US only): 1 in 161,831. Conclusion: So it seems that it's actually a lot more likely for an American to die in a mass shooting than it is for us to die in lightning strikes. After realizing that we all have just witnessed one libertarian, Bucky, asking another libertarian, Pinguinite, if he “really believes” something – Then, this has gotta be the funniest thing we have read in a long while.

To: A K A Stone (#14) [The statistical odds of death in mass shooting (US only) is} 1 in 11,125 That number is bullshit. Bullshit? That would mean there are 29393 people killed in mass shootings in the usa each year. Not true. That [the computation of statistical odds] in no way mans “there are 29393 people killed in mass shootings in the usa each year. Which of course, is definitely “not true.” Which would mean 81 killed each day in mass shootings. I don't believe that. I don’t believe that either because the “statistical odds” does not “mean 81 killed each day in mass shootings. So, let’s examine what is true and what to believe. To begin, we must first understand that “statistical odds” are an “expression of relative probabilities” and in no way a prediction of something that will happen – is expected to happen – or a validation of anything that has happened. Are we clear on this? Hoping that we are, then let’s delve deeper and understand ... … the probability that an event will occur is the fraction of times you expect to see that event in many trials. Probabilities always range between 0 and 1. The odds are defined as the probability that the event will occur divided by the probability that the event will not occur. Now that we have that clear, we can then understand that if the probability of an event occurring is Y, then the probability of the event not occurring is 1- Y. I will cite you an example for further clarification: If the probability of an event is 0.80 (80%), then the probability that the event will not occur is 1-0.80 = 0.20, or 20%. So, we can now understand that the odds of an event represent the ratio of the (probability that the event will occur) / (probability that the event will not occur). Actually this can be expressed a follows in a formula: Odds of event = Y / (1-Y) In summary: The “statistical odds” by design allows for the calculation of a “relative risk” and should NEVER be looked upon as a “prediction.” I trust you now have a better perspective … Gatlin  posted on  2019-08-09   8:24:00 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #16.

Perhaps you can better understand the information if you read The odds that a gun will kill the average American may surprise you at https://www.businessinsider.com/us-gun-death-murder-risk-statistics-2018-3. This is yet another source that shows assaults by firearm kill about 13,000 people in the US each year, and this translates to a roughly 1-in-315 lifetime chance of death from gun violence. It also shows that the risk of dying in a mass shooting is about 35 times lower than that, with a 1-in-11,125 lifetime chance of death. This all I can possibly say on this.

It could be that looking at this year alone would show mass shootings a couple times higher that lightning. If you only look at the single day of the Vegas shooting, then you'll certainly get a shooting figure far, far higher than lightning. But who cares about stats? You don't.

My comparison of deaths was lightning to mass shootings, not death by gunfire, which maybe you were too stupid to understand. The question: “Is mass shooting deaths on par with getting killed by lightning?” No it isn’t. I would need to be really stupid – which I of course am not – to understand and believe the fake statistic you pulled out of your libertarian ass. In 2007, 45 people were killed by lightning in the USA. The average is 31 deaths per year. https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning- fatalities17 Last year there were 334 mass shootings resulting in 606 deaths. Overall there were 10,982 firearms homicides, not suicides, just murders. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the- u.s.-2017/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls You are over 19 times more likely to be killed in a mass shooting and 486 times more likely to be killed with a firearm than killed by lightning in the USA.

A mass shooting by its very nature is an incident involving multiple victims of firearm-related violence. A "mass shooting" in the context of MSM is one in which lots of people get killed sufficient to make it national news, which is, of course, when everyone starts talking about it and calling it an epidemic which, compared to the Black Plague or the more recent Spanish Flu of 1918, it is certainly not.
