MISLEAD! ALT RIGHT'S NEW FIREARM STRAW-MAN.
This is a response to Ann Coulter's Post on Breitbart "Amazing New Breakthrough to Reduce Mass Shootings."
Omar Mateen, Christopher Harper-Mercer, Seung-Hui Cho, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, Salvador Tapia, Sulejman Talovic. This is a small list of the shooters listed by Ann Coulter. What do they have in common? Yes they are immigrants (several were citizens). What else? They all had some history of mental illness, drug abuse and/or domestic violence. These are all conditions that a large portion (60% according to some) of Americans want to restrict gun access to. Talovic was only able to obtain a handgun due to a “pawn shop” loophole. A loophole that needs to be closed Ann.
Ann is right, we have less mass shootings per capita than some other developed countries, but we top the charts (mostly top ten) for homicides and suicides using firearms. We have way more guns than other folks too, more than one per person. But I don't know any liberals that have said we have the most mass shootings, they mostly just want the deaths to stop. So who were you correcting here Ann?
So should we slow immigration? Maybe, but from where? Most of the immigrants to USA recently have been from India, after that is China. And how many generations does it take to not be a danger? Hasan was born in Virginia for example. Maybe it takes the third generation to be "safe?"
So does radical Islam pose a threat? Sure, but then we can talk about radical Christianity and it's threat. I'm an atheist, so seriously we should talk about that because radical Christians scare me.
The issue here is deeper Ann, and I find that when you yell immigration, you are misleading people onto a useless and dangerous path.
