White men of any age are underrepresented in mass shootings.
The most likely profile of a U.S. mass shooter, based on available data, is a male, aged 18–45, often with a background of personal grievance or crisis. If you’re talking about public rampage-style shootings, the demographic most overrepresented is white men.
Key Demographic Patterns of Mass Shooters (U.S.) Gender Overwhelmingly male: About 95–98% of mass shooters are men. Women are extremely rare as perpetrators. Age Most are young to middle-aged adults, often between 18 and 45 years old. School shooters skew younger (teens and early 20s). Workplace shooters tend to be older (30s–50s). Race/Ethnicity Data varies depending on how “mass shooting” is defined (e.g., school shootings, public rampages, gang-related shootings). For high-profile public mass shootings (like schools, malls, concerts), a disproportionate share are committed by white men.
What about men who pretend to be women? Also, stop acting like white males are a problem. Most shooters are inner city blacks. Although most of them don't obtain their guns legally. Real gun control would involve serious jail time for using a gun in a crime or having a gun illegally. But if police tried to jail people for that, libs would fight tooth and nail and cry about equity
Correct. Most people agree mentally ill and unstable people should not be able to legally purchased firearms. Just like someone who is bipolar, has schizophrenia, etc. shouldn't be allowed to buy guns. Trans are in the same category, especially given their history of shooting up locations with innocent children. Id think the left would support this. Guns should only be for responsible, mentally stable people with good intentions. And that is not the majority of the trans community.

High profile mass shootings (mall and similar) are a tiny fraction of all “mass shootings”…Chicago had 3 drive-bys with 5+ victims last week. I highly doubt any were a white kale with an AR-15
Hint: none of them were. Liberal love to manipulate mass shooting data by counting every gang drive guy as a "mass shooting" and then only reporting the tiny fraction done my white dudes on the news.
Then, at the end of the year they can talk about on CNN how the US had 10 bazillion "mass shootings" and that is why we need to take guns away from everyday people. Their propaganda is so good a significant amount of people legitimately believe white guys commit all mass shootings, despite the opposite being true.

In a weird way I can see this actually motivating a lot of weird guys to get guns and start saying they're women. More guys than would have done it before. Some guys are just drawn to this kind of thing like moth to a flame. Maybe boredom or a chance at notoriety in a crushingly mediocre existence.

You're right.
And just about ZERO, or absolutely ZERO, of those are committed by trans people.
Trans people are UNDERREPRESENTED in shootings of all kinds.
And being trans is not defined as a mental illness. So, playing the "keep guns from the mentally ill" card doesn't work either.
Medical consensus: Major health organizations — including the American Psychiatric Association (APA), American Psychological Association, American Medical Association, and the World Health Organization (WHO) — all state that being transgender is not a mental disorder.
DSM-5 (APA): The DSM-5 does not list being transgender itself as an illness. Instead, it uses the term “gender dysphoria” to describe the psychological distress that some (but not all) trans people experience when their gender identity doesn’t align with their assigned sex at birth. The focus is on the distress, not the identity.
ICD-11 (WHO): The World Health Organization went further in 2019 by removing “gender identity disorders” from the mental health category altogether. Instead, it lists “gender incongruence” under sexual health — reflecting that it’s not a disorder, but some people may need medical support (e.g., hormone therapy, surgeries).

Exactly what I'm talking about. You liars have 2 separate definitions of "mass shooting" that you stealthily switch between whenever it suits your current talking point.
What is a "public" mass shooting? Were the 50+ people shot in Chicago last weekend not in "public" ?
These are rhetorical questions of course, I already the the answer is that the perpetrators of these mass shootings fit into inconvenient demographics, so you must put them in a different bucket to keep up the facade. We see what you are doing, it's not as clever as you think.
This serves as a litmus test for the NRA and for the 2nd Amendment, "from my cold dead fingers," no-tyranny, don't-tread-on-me, militia-movement crowd.
They better be taking to the streets to defend the Constitutional right of law-abiding Americans to bear arms, regardless of whether they are trans.
If they fail to, they are full of crap and it will be on full display.
Everyone already agrees that the mentally ill shouldn't own firearms.
The problem here is the left refusing to admit clearly crazy people are crazy.
Does lying about being in the military make someone mentally ill?

Oh... I think you've missed the mark terribly.
Do you want to define mass shooting as the random attack on a public place? Fine. Trans people are underrepresented as perpetrators of those shootings.
Do you want to include gang-related, inner city turf and drug wars? Fine. Trans people are underrepresented as perpetrators of those shootings. They are probably not responsible for any of those.
And they aren't defined as mentally ill either.
So, make the case for denying them their 2nd Amendment rights given those realities.

Your stupid is showing.
A majority of white men commit the majority of most crimes because white people are still like 62% of the population...
When a group that makes up X% of the population commits less than X% of the crimes they are underrepresented.

Please try to remember you're really dumb.
Nice try, moran.
Are Trans People Over- or Under-Represented as Shooters?
Population share: Transgender individuals make up around 1% of the U.S. population aged 13 and up.
Shooter share: They account for only 0.11% of mass shooters.
Conclusion: Transgender people are under-represented among mass shooting perpetrators relative to their population size.
