    How about: promoting irrational animosity against any demographic group is a terrible response to mass shootingshttps://twitter.com/cjwerleman/status/915039919487148032 …

    Banning Muslims saves zero lives. Banning white guys from owning guns would save thousands each and every year.

        Maybe so, but it's sort of irrelevant in terms of whether assigning collective demographic blame is warranted.

        Further, "people who carry out mass shootings" is an exceptionally small statistical subgroup. Making extrapolations based on it is dubious.

        Exactly -- which is also irrational and should be counteracted. Mimicking the bad behavior in relation to white men is not sensible.

        Any major mass shooter is going to get extensive scrutiny so I don't think achieving parity is really an issue.

        What's more an issue: people who rightly decry when animosity is stoked against Muslims use the very same tactics against other groups.

        I don't see how making outlandish, unsubstantiated claims about white males is going to aid in improving how Americans perceive Muslims.

        The tweet I quoted, along with countless others that went viral today, reflect a sentiment I would characterize as outlandish.

        Whatever lesson's embedded there is never going to be received by the people who most need to hear it, when it's framed so antagonistically.

        There's an overarching theme among many who are "venting" which is exceeding unhelpful and should be pointed out.https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/914941614170054656 …

        If you want to explain away every mass shooting as the inherent behavior of an identity group, whats the point of that kind of rhetoric?

        Again, his angry venting reflects an insidious strain of liberal thought that is very prevalent and worthy of criticism.

        It's true that Muslims are scapegoated, but you can't counteract that by employing the same tactics against othershttps://twitter.com/lhfang/status/914941910149509120 …

        You hear it on both the right/left blaming either Muslims or all white men. Its lazy, tribal nihilism masquerading as bold political speech.

        I think CJ'S point is to highlight a glaring hypocrisy regarding swift and detrimental policy decisions that are made when Muslims involved.
