Conservatives love guns, but they aren’t the ones shooting people

How can you cite that CNN article to prove a point that multiple shootings are rarely politically motivated? It doesn't give enough information either way in the synopses of the shootings.

Because ones I wasn't familiar with, I looked up on Wikipedia.

Hahahahahaha ... CNN hasn't been centrist since the first Bush administration.

Having said that, I doubt most mass shootings have any political basis although it seems very very few of the shooters had any connection to conservatism while several had distinct ties to liberalism, a statistical correlation (note, NOT causation) that goes opposite to the way the mass media tends to portray things.

Now that's funny.

I would tend to agree that there probably isn't much political motivation apparent in mass shootings. Of course, so many of the shooters die, it's hard to say unless they leave some clues before they check out.

People from both sides of the political aisle do bad things. Liberals nor conservatives have the market cornered on individual violence. When it comes to governments I'd say the far left has killed WAY more than governments that lean right. At least in the last hundred years or so.

I've seen both versions of this. Left and right. I see it more as a way to make whichever side feel superior about their position.

Bad people do bad things.

Bad people suck.

Well, whatever they are doing is apparently working if you really think they are centrist....
