text: Thanks for the links. I love a good statistic. I'd start with separating the premise of violence and politics though. The latter is the easier. Regardless of the politics, gun control advocates (not gun ban or forfeiture dreamers) aren't very concerned with what a person believes when they shoot the gun, they want to reduce immediate access for a number of reasons. The former, the shooters themselves, I'm personally not concerned with either. I don't look as race, religion, etc, as a causality. Other people can have other opinions. So, I agree, to an extent the group you are referring to is stereotyped just as much as the myth of the thousands of sleeper cells in america based on ethnicity or religion. It's a fine line between profiling in a common sense way and abuse. The lines are pretty blurry these days.
