If you think anything in the meme was meant to be true, you're missing the point entirely.

White males committing mass shootings is slightly lower to their percentage in the population. At least in some of the listings of mass shootings. The FBI does not have an official definition of what is a mass shooting so some biased places pick their own sources.

Sydney, you should really find an alternative source. Mediabiasedfactcheck lists Frontpage as, "extreme" right leaning and a questionable source. Same goes with allsides, SPLC, Sourcewatch, and a bunch of others. The numbers listed on Frontpage, prove the point. It's more like 58% white males, not 29%. Nowhere else will you find 51% of mass shootings perpetrated by black men. The real number is more like 19% so Frontpage was only off by a little more than 250%. The source is obviously biased. It looks like they were picking felony numbers based on gang activity? What people consider mass shootings is defined as a "motive of indiscriminate, random killing carried out on the public". So, you posted a lie or at best, a skewed number to make for more heated race wars. That doesn't help anyone or solve any problems.

Going by four causalities, not necessary deaths, in one shooting. And not including drive by's, I believe.

2016 FBI stats has black Americans at 53% of all murders from 13% of the population. And alot of stats counts Hispanics as white. So, while whites do commit more high profile non gang targetting 'lone gunman' shootings, even your 58% is underepresentative of the total white population. Ignoring those 'mass shooters' doesn't help either.

I wasn't sure what you meant by it but figured you were doing satire but I wasn't sure so I dropped that pic. The article is actually pretty fair.

The 53% figure for all murders from 13% of the population is definitely a problem for sure.

I don't know what the answer is to the mass shootings we're seeing but what we're doing isn't working. Texas being one of the most pro gun rights states and also one of the highest mass shooting states should tell us more of the same will not help.

Ssri's, glorification of violence in movies and culture, mass publicity and wanting to be remembered, depression and hopelessness, single parent households, declining faith, the closure of many mental hospitals, rising rates of sociopaths and now anger from non whites from being taught in school that they are victims of the white man and whites angry for being blamed for everyone else problems.

I think that is more of a problem than guns. You guys should be somewhat happier. Trump has budged on bump stocks and checks. But yeah, it's a tough thing. Take away the guns and these sickos will run down people with a van or some other tactic.

Most of the problem is large volume magazines that are easily exchanged in matching weapons. Slowing the rate of killing from more than 1 per second gives people time to run, police time to respond, and sometimes a chance to jump the shooter while they are changing mags. We've glorified the AR and the mags by continually talking about them and suggesting they will be banned, making people go out and buy them just like I did, when they normally would not. Radical extremism web based information, 24hr opinion pieces disguised as news, these things feed the flames to make people believe they cannot trust the government.

Movies, video games, does nothing. People all over the world have those same things and don't go out murdering strangers. This is a uniquely American phenomenon. Only in America is there an extremely irresponsible gun culture. I own multiple semi-auto's and 30rd mags. I'd gladly give them up for a gov buy back. I wouldn't dare sell any of it to anyone, not only for the legal liability but also because I don't want to think about how I would feel if anyone used my stuff to hurt people. Anyone who owns guns and also is a card carrying member of the NRA at this point, cannot call themselves a responsible gun owner. My stuff stays locked up in a safe where it's been for many years.
