What do you take as a bigger threat to you, as to my knowledge, an average citizen.
Targeted violence and shootings, or mass shootings on random people in public places? I’m a lot more worried about my American friends being shot randomly at a car show or concert than some gang fight at 3am in downtown Chicago. Of course people are less interested in those incidents, as it’s less of a personal threat to an average American.
I'd be more concerned with being involved in a fatal car accident,which is thousands of times more likely.
Tell you what though, if i were really that terrified of being shot randomly, I'd probably want to do the only thing in my immediate power and carry a gun on me at all times possible.
Maybe now it's more clear to you the damaging counter effect of media manipulation and hysteria

Why do conservatives always like to bring up Chicago anytime we have a mass shooting or want to discuss gun rights? It's such a lame and asinine argument, but is used time after time.
If you think gang violence in South Chicago, which by the way is a result of red-lining and the systemic economic subjugation of a community by the powers that be to create such an environment is anywhere the same as a targeted mass shooting by a white supremacist, then I don't understand how your mind truly works.
It's like trying to compare an apple to an orange, these are completely different fruits.
But yes we get it, Chicago has black people, and they're bad people! Let's talk about them instead. Such a boring and stupid counterpoint.

Yes, we are all aware that your likelihood of dying in a mass shooting is also much lower than car accidents, cancer, etc.
If I were that terrified of being shot randomly, I'd probably want it to be more difficult for some sick fuck to buy an ak-47 than walking into a sporting goods store or pawn shop. I'm not dumb enough that I'm just going to buy a gun and think I'm gonna go start winning gun fights.

Don't like Chicago? How about Detroit? Memphis? New Orleans? Baltimore?
If you removed the ten cities with the highest percentage of black population, then removed the suicides committed by whites (70% of white gun deaths), the US would have a lower rate of gun deaths than Canada.
The US doesn't have a "gun" problem. They have a problem with their "urban" inner cities and suicides.

The Boyert Shooting Center also made news last year after another store, Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would no longer be selling assault-style rifles in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, which left 17 people dead.
On March 2, 2018, the Boyert Shooting Center changed the sign of its marquee outside its store in Katy to poke fun at the decision, reading: "We're not all Dicks. We still sell AR's."

Cops getting shot at in the hood. No surprises there
holy shit that reaction time of the police officer is amazing on the third party guy.
he was about to point blank ambush the first police officer till his back up officer was trailing right behind him and reacted instantly seeing him raise his hands up,that's some muscle memory right there...why else would someone raise there only arm up at you?
