And "we can't ignore the effects of #culture. ... #guns are not cool [and yet the United States'] culture romanticizes #guns and #gun violence [in] #movies, #TV, #gaming, and #music. We need to stop that."

"Do you think there's any hope to screen for mass shooters?"

Only "5% of mass shootings are motivated primarily by #mentalIllness". Of course, "the lifetime prevalence of any psychiatric disorder among adults in [the U.S.] right now is about 40 to 45%, so a lot of people who perpetrate mass murder will have some sort of diagnos[is]."

"decreas[ing] #gun availability by law [is] the primary method by which we could decrease [most] gun violence and ...shootings. [That doesn't require confiscation.] ...checking on #guns the way we [do with] motor vehicles [can help and] there are a lot of [other] strategies."

Foreign countries are not buying the White Supremacist BS and have no issue publishing facts:
Since 2005, 93% of the murder motivated by extremist ideology are from the far right.

I don't think I've done an #introduction before despite having been here for a few years now.

My name is Nagaram or Nags. I am kinda 30. #tech nerd #history nerd #philosophy nerd and I will talk ad nauseum about #religion and my weird #atheist stances. Such as thinking #magick and the #occult is cool!

I work #IT so I mostly talk about that and my #homelab like my blog thinkstoomuch.net

I'm also an annoying leftist! I will post about my #gun ownership and #firearms training with anyone who's interested.

DMs open. Email is open too if you wanna chat, vent, or call me names. All valid!

The woman, who did not want to be identified, told KTLA in Spanish that she knows one of the men & that he’s not a criminal.

Witnesses reported that the same group of #FederalAgents returned to the corner at around 9:30AM, though it’s unclear if anyone else was arrested.

The random #immigration ops have people in the community living in fear, acc/to reporting from KTLA’s Elina Abovian, who spoke to Fernando Banuelos, owner of Dena’s Burgers.

“I’ve lived in #LA for 35 years already & I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said, adding that more than half of his Hispanic [& Latin] clientele are afraid to leave their homes. “Our business has been down I would say 60% to 70%.”

Asked for comment, city leaders in #Pasadena said that they are aware of Wednesday’s #arrests & the officer pulling his #gun on a resident….
