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

It's only terrorism when Muslims shoot.
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.
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.

In the home, for example. I've read about them happening locally. Someone flips out and kills his family or friends.
Ones on private property like the man who shot his entire family then killed himself types.

fully immersed in faith..
interesting......having history in both Iowa and Michigan I clicked on all of the flags in both states.....all eight incidents in those two states involved....
1) a party
2) alcohol
3) African-American shooters and victims.....
perhaps we should restrict blacks from buying alcohol and drugs.......

I'm sure cons would like to restrict them from having guns also.
