How do you measure the mass shootings that never happen, because some private citizen took the trouble to arm himself?
Like some guy who gets stomped and his ass beaten badly by 15 guys in a bar brawl ( dude asked for it, by trying to kill the bartender on a busy night ) and as he's being shown the door he screams "I'M GONNA GET MY GUN! I'M GONNA GET MY GUN!"
The bartender tells him "If I see you in here again, I'm going to blow your f*#king brains out" - he meant it, too. And the hellraiser understood.
Within a minute, the outside of the backdoor of the bar was hit by a pair of shotgun blasts, but the shooter knew better than to go back inside that bar, because he didn't want to get shot.
The bartender used his gun ( a Ruger P-85 9mm ) to stop a mass murder without shooting it, pointing it at anybody, or even drawing it.
Where on the stat sheet does an incident like that show? Happens all the time, all over the country. It's certainly not the type of thing that gets reported to the cops - the bartender just buys a couple rounds of drinks for everyone as thanks for helping out, and that's it.

Over 3100 people have been killed by Islamic terrorists on u.s. soil alone since 9-10-2011. If you add the thousands of soldiers, diplomats, aid workers, etc etc. killed since then maybe you can begin to realize we are at war with these maniacs.

Pulling a number and a date out of your ass isn't a citation, Rick.
Source? Link?

Okay Norton you are making progress.
As for your white male christians. If you substitute dosed with pacifying drugs in school, obsessed with violent gaming, and prompted by the fame they see the media hyping on their predecessors you would probably be closer.
Alternately you could take your blinders off and look at the gang warfare rampant in the predominately Democrat run inner cities. Thousands upon thousands per year-makes your list of perps look anemic.
A matter of public record Apogee. Look it up yourself.

So far, Mr. Truman's judicious [?] use of nuclear weapons has deterred all others from using them as any thing more than a threat.
-Dr. Strangelove(private communication)
Could a massive infusion of American 'Gee haw' into the mix deter some of these crazy bastards from their dastardly deeds? Any volunteers for some infiltration of the middle east with a tanker full of U.S.A. manufactured Sarin?
Sort of, what comes around, goes around, eh?

You want solutions, how about this.
Close the borders down to the point even an illegal foreign mouse couldn't get in.
Close down immigration and visas from any problem foreign country. Accept only those that have education/skills in short supply here.
Law enforcement is spread to thin. Deputize returning vets and retiring law enforcement to guard targets of opportunity.
Reintroduce corporal punishment into the public schools
Outlaw violent gaming.
Fire the dem administration's responsible for their cities spiraling out of control.
Deport the america hating progressives along with other terrorists on the watchlist

When did you become radicalized? Your satirical "solutions", you don't mention them in public, I hope. I'm guessing you do, at your kind of campfire.

Roll out the welcome mat to those with biochemical weapons experience.
Provide sarin possession permits to all gun owners (who fear for their lives).

Well, if there is a high probability that the victims to be are armed it would give the wack jobs pause and probably short circuit their carnage.
Yet, the gun enthusiasts are afraid of a good refugee with a gun that could stop a bad guy with a gun.
Fence straddling being what it is and all.
The NRA and Texas looking into new antigun legislation.
Funny stuff right there, afraid of their own dreamed up fear. Ha!

Transgender burkas, yes. Would at least differentiate the freaks. Cover all cleavage, no that would be a crime.

All victims of a violent, pathological, misogynistic, genocidal ideology
True, the NRA is a pretty despicable organization, and they have no regard for the havoc their policies are creating in this country, but I'm not sure they're misogynistic.
That might offend someone.
If Wayne LaPierre is offended, tough.
