2023-04-10 22:31:36 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

Political affiliation of mass shootings is not tracked. There's no evidence to show that mass killings are motivated by political ideologies of any type. Most mass killings we’ve seen have been motivated by a mental illness, and easy accessibility to weapons. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/feb/23/claudia-tenney/do-many-mass-shooters-end-being-democrats-rep-tenn/
