Given the opportunity to outlaw "assault weapons" or eliminate hate, fear and greed, which do you think would reduce deaths the most? Saying this because Amish communities are generally armed to the teeth without any shootings.
Ah yes, the Amish. Famously violent, and always running around with their AR-15s, high capacity magazines, just to really show off how modest, simple and peaceful their lives are.
Amish communities deal with those things in a different horrible way. Like excommunicating people who know nothing outside of the community.
This is as stupid as sad.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two attacks on Sunday occurring within a couple of hours of each other in Texas and Washington state were the year’s 37th and 38th mass shootings.
Authorities believe a murder-suicide was responsible for the death of five family members in Vancouver, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, just across the border in Washington, while in Dallas a 21-year-old with a previous aggravated assault charge shot five people in a house, including a toddler.
Another attack occurred on Sunday in New York City, when a 38-year-old man stabbed four of his relatives – including two children – as well as another woman and two police officers before they shot him.
Some, such as the Gun Violence Archive, include events in which multiple people are shot regardless of number of deaths, and so report much higher figures.
The Fourth of July long weekend was overshadowed by 16 shootings in which 15 people were killed and nearly 100 injured.
But the deadliest attack of 2023 happened in Lewiston, Maine, on 25 October when an army reservist murdered 18 people in a bowling alley and a bar.
