Rounding up from 5,000 to 7,000? That's not being honest, that's being deceptive. Deceiving yourself is the greatest crime anyone can commit. The honest data is this for 2022, 695 mass shootings- including Chicago gang and other gang violence. 762 dead, including the shooters, which is a sleezy way to increase the numbers, murderers are not victims. 2902 injured, again including the shooters, again, shooters are perpetrators not victims. 5 mass shootings occured in schools or univeristies. 2 at places of worship. So what is it? 5,000 or 7,000? The truth or the propaganda? And gender is a construct of language, funnny how language has been manipulated isn't it? Could be there is a devious agenda concealed in the lie? You are smart, now all you need to do is become a bit more skeptical, expand the sources of your information and get really good at determining the truth. There are a lot of horrible people in leadership who want nothing more to control you by every means possible. Law abiding gun owners are not committing murders, murderers are. My best friend was murdered with a baseball bat. Murderes will kill by any means they find convenient. Now look at the murders committed by dictators like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot and so many others. If you are honest you will see that those murders happened only after the general population was disarmed. Kings and tyrants do that, that's why we have the second ammendment. Look up how many people Che murdered when CUba fell to the communists- again private self defense was confiscated so cowardly tyrants could do whatever they wanted.
So now as far as not getting it, google the 45 Communist Party Goals of 1963. All of this disruption is part of a century old plan to dismantle the freedom of the United States so that tyrants can rule the world. So now you think I'm a whack job. Read it first, then make your determination (I can back all of this up if you want a reading list). Notice the part where they plan to discredit the FBI and install social workers in the place of police- should sound very familiar from the summer of mostly peaceful riots. Notice how they planned to destroy the church (our morality) our schools (the avenue to financial independence) normalize porn and homosexuality and on and on. Hopefully you see how each of the puzzle pieces has been put into place, because you life and future well being rely on it. Then get trained and buy yourself a firearm so that you might prevent being a victim.
