That is freakin' unbelievable. And cons are worried about Muslim terrorism?

It's only terrorism when Muslims shoot.

I need to find the article but it was from a left-leaning site that debated the way mass killings were defined and showed that this argument that we had a mass killing every day of the year in 2015 was false.

The global definition of Mass Shooting is 4 or more people. I looked it up.

This is the article I believe. Completely different numbers.



A Guide to Mass Shootings in America

There have been at least 73 in the last three decades—and most of the killers got their guns legally.

Cawacko, you can click on each of the flags on the map and read the story of the shootings.

The sooner my reasonable proposal is codified, the better.

• Requiring everyone to be armed at all times must become the law of the land.
• A new federal agency must be established to perform spot checks to ensure compliance.
• Any citizen found unarmed must be summarily executed on the spot.
• Only then will we have achieved the freedom that the glorious founders envisioned for Gunmerica!

"at least".

Your story, Cawacko, is about public mass shootings only.

"at least".

His article only details shootings done on campuses, theaters, schools, etc., the PBS article is about all mass shootings. If you click on the flags you will see that some are murder suicides or other occurrences that happen on private properties.

If someone kills their wife, kid and themselves it will definitely make the local news but it's not making national news.

What other kind of mass shootings are there?

In the home, for example. I've read about them happening locally. Someone flips out and kills his family or friends.
