why can't you ever fact check yourself? I mean really.
Mother Jones is the generally accepted go to for facts on this and as per them:
"Mother Jones, which defines a public mass shooting as an incident in which the motive appeared to be indiscriminate killing and a lone gunman took the lives of at least three people. Under this definition, Mother Jones found that non-Hispanic white men have been responsible for 54 percent of mass shootings since August 1982."
Moreover, white males represent ~65% of the population. In other words, the percentage of mass shootings by white men is lower than their share of the male population.
Worse, casting a wide net about making this not just about race, but about whites specifically, isn't going to solve the issue. banning guns is the only way to solve our gun problem. wake up.
