it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


unironically gun control will not stop the socioeconomic deterioration of america that is the root cause of our mass shooting epidemic. also any attempt to disarm the workers must be resisted, with force if necessary, etc etc etc. buy guns and post socialist flyers outside the gun range.

which is able to embed itself most deeply in (primarily) alienated young men, many of whom see their econonic future looming dim and their relative advantages over other groups as slipping, who are adrift in the cultural wasteland of neoliberal society, whose particular broken brains lead them to lash out violently rather than post on somethingawful.com

Not all gang shootings involve more than one person being shot. They can be mass shootings, but just as often only one victim gets shot. Categorically they are separate things, and I'd argue stem from different (but related) social issues.

Because the American military and police forces have an entire arsenal of weapons that let them terrorize and mitigate poorly armed and trained idiots. Surprise attacks can only get you so far. All the not-stupid reactionaries figured out decades ago that the way to revolution is to insinuate themselves in organizations that have meaningful equipment and resources.

If by 'brutally and repeatedly owned' you mean occupying an entire country thousands of miles away from their major bases, and reducing all opposition to skirmishing peasants with soviet era weapons.
