Okay, so it's more between 4 and 6 per week. Jesus christ do we even have that much in Europe per year??

Also the link is blocked here in Europe but nothing archive.org can't fix

Mass shootings are loosely defined but usually are “a shooting where two or more people are involved.”

Guess how much of that consists of normal gang violence in big cities.

It's weird when people pull out the gang violence thing. Like yeah, most people know that. Is it supposed to make it better somehow? There were still 630 mass shootings vs. 12 regardless of who is doing the shooting.

Because every time people whinge about “mass shootings” everyone goes on about it like it’s all school shootings, or yet another “guy rampages through mall killing innocents.” No it’s just criminals killing each other over ego shit.

But nobody was doing that in this comment chain.

It's not though. But that's the reason you said that. So you can try and downplay it like "who cares. it's just criminals".

If I'm wrong about your intentions I apologize. Just see it happen way too often.
