There have been 33 massacres since 2018.

Have they all been trans shooters?

Why don’t trans people in other countries engage in this?

These arguments of yours are fallacious and reductive at best. The US is the only nation on earth that suffers these sorts of massive public assassinations.

The question here really should be: are there more evil and mentally unstable people in the US? If so, should the US public who suffers from mental illness and evil inclinations be allowed to possess firearms? If not, then the only other clear and logical reason is access.

We in the US have made it far too easy to acquire firearms under some fanciful concept that a society from 250 years ago is best suited to dictate how all of society in perpetuity that follows will operate. This is dangerous. Lionization and an almost cultish following of long dead beaurecrats has made the US the absolute epicenter of gun violence on the planet. This is not about trans people. Trans people in Europe aren’t mass killing the civilians. Trans people in Mexico aren’t mass killing. Trans people in Canada aren’t mass killing. Trans people in Japan aren’t mass killing. Trans people in Australia aren’t mass killing. Only in America.

This is a sad attempt to shift the focus away from americas failures and a chance for the right wing to scapegoat transgender people as the problem when they aren’t even a meaningful statistical percent of all of the mass shootings in the US since 1990.
