It's still almost 100% cis men, but nice try. Mostly white men.
The answer is clear: raise the bar for white men applying for firearms license (e.g. assessing their extremist leanings, family checks, trackers on their guns if allowed to own one).
Do you not understand the term “per-capita”?
Despite the recent Pro-Trans Indoctrination movement, they still only represent a fraction of a percentage of the American public.
Since 1982 there have been 141 Mass Shootings.
(See link… I apologize if I counted wrong.)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/811 ... in-the-us/There have been I believe 3 Mass Shooting committed by Trans identifying people in this same time… and one averted just recently in Colorado.
They are committing 2.1% of Mass Shootings… even though they represent only a fraction of a percentage.
You can find wildly varying answers to what that % is but the NIH said 1/250 or about 0.4%.
(That’s about 1million people in the USA.)
So 3 for 1,000,000 versus 138 for 80,000,000.
So 1 out of 333,000 trans people are mass murderers,
and 1 out of every 580,000 american men are mass murderers.
The population number is dated 2020… so I may be. off slightly.
I have not excluded female mass murderers…. that would improve the number a bit.
I could just compare “trans-versus-natural” gendered people… which would raise the population and make it be like 1 out of every 1,160,000 natural-gendered Americans are mass murders.
So yeah… on a per capita basis a transperson is substantially more likely to commit mass murder than an American man.

Back to a lesson on language….
The prefix “cis” as used by Pro-TransActivists is invalid and I don’t accept it.
Transpeople demand we their “preferred pronouns”… and I am willing to do that on personal/individual basis with humans I know and respect.*
(*In most cases… I’ll use she/her for a Transwoman and he/him for an Transman if/when they present as the pronouns would suggest.
I will not used “they/them” because these are plural pronouns which have historical connotations that offend me as an American.)
As a natural male I refuse to accept the prefix “cis” being applied to me.
I have as AT LEAST as much right to demand my prefix’s as transpeople have to demand their pronouns.
I am not a cismale or cisman, I am just a man.
Prefix of trans is perfectly appropriate to apply to transpeople, so transman or transwoman are appropriate, because they accurately describe the fact that they have or are TRANSitioning to a sex different than the sex they were born.
