Huge population, lots of violent individuals, and mass media giving too much attention to the people who do these terrible things.

Jesus Christ you don't have a clue of how home made bombs work or how effective they are. I'll give you a hint: look at the Boston bombing. And you're using the exception that is the Tylenol poisonings? That isn't even replicable today.
"placed" around the crowd. happy? also pipe bombs are a thing.

and i was using those as examples as in how poisons are viable which iv already shown and explained why they arnt used as much.

Okay and again I point to the Boston bombing to demonstrate how effective most improvised bombs are. There's a reason they're not used.

Culture. Most mass shooters are gang bangers who wild out and shoot a bunch of people (usually around 3-6) before fleeing. They think they own the streets that US tax payers paid for. They think this way due to bad parenting.


its sad blatant racism is the norm on CE these days


So gang-related shootings don't account for the vast majority of mass shootings?

These are two different things


No they aren't. When people cite things like there have been as many mass shootings as days so far this year gang violence is included.

Remove that and the number plummets. Still way too high mind you, but not nearly to the extent it is sensationalized to be.

Every gang related shooting doesn't involve more than one victim. A mass shooting would have at least 5+

Even that might be low.

I'm sorry, and what race are gang bangers @metralo? More importantly, why do you seem to believe that only one race can be gang bangers?


if you think someone who is a white nationalist is not being intentionally racist when he says gang banger and wild out and bring up us tax payers youre just being ignorant

No, not everyone, but enough cause injuries to enough people during the shooting to greatly inflate that number, which the media loves to conflate with the horrendous acts in Vegas and Texas to make it seem like mass shootings conducted by white males are much higher than they actually are.

the polarization and often times isolation of American society, along with America historically being a fairly violent nation (throw in ease of gun access and boom)

It's the mass media glorification IMO. Columbine created a cult-like obsession with mass shooters in our society.
