“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” the person asked. Kirk responded, “Too many.”
...The answer is 5.
Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked.
It's apparently impossible to know the exact number...but it is in the high hundreds, or even thousands. If you include gang violence, then the number is almost 7000.
These kinds of arguments are so disingenuous they are practically lies, in and of themselves.
- Wait no. I'm gonna rewatch that video and wait for Kirk's answer
  
  Spoiler alert: He chickens out and won't answer it.
- He frames his answers as accusations. It’s not disingenuous, it’s deliberate fingerpointing bigotry.
- And the % of victims under 18 years old? Crazy place to live.
as well as a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest
Keep in mind that the person to sold Luigi to the police has not gotten a single cent.
“I can tell you this was a targeted event,” said Robert Bohls, the top FBI agent in Salt Lake City.
Amazing what the FBI can find out. I would never have thought this could have been targeted!
"High powered rifle", aka "Hunting rifle".
- Still technically correct.
They work better than those low powered rifles.
So... he just dropped his gun?
Seems like bullshit to me.
- .30-06 can be pretty heavy and also found at most lawnsales if that is in fact the type of rifle used. I'd leave that shit right where it was too
  
  So then what about those photos of the “person of interest”? He wasn’t carrying a rifle or anything else… I’d expect to see him carrying the rifle or something of similar shape/size. If those were from before the shooting then how did he get the rifle up to the roof? If they were from after the shooting then how did the rifle get to the woods where it was found?
- Leave the gun, take the cannoli
- Why would they carry the weapon and run? It draws attention and helps more easily ID the shooter later. Ditch the gun and act like any other scared attendee running away.
  
  There are countless ways to conceal a weapon, even a long gun.
- Lmao not sure if you're joking or not
Yea I imagine someone carrying a gun would blend in pretty well there.
