33 Mass Shootings in 3 weeks.

So much for the US not having a gun problem.

Because it’s not the gun. (Waiting for the fake numbers meme)

I wish those numbers were fake.

The Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit organization, defines a mass shooting as one that involves four or more people killed or injured, not including the shooter. The California shooting is also the deadliest

Four people is a pretty low threshold to consider a mass shooting.

I would guess 30 of those 33 shootings are just Black-on-Black gang raids on one another's crack houses. Stuff like that.

Take those away, and the USA and Canada have the same number of shootings.

Canada just has a lower Black population.

No disrespect to Black Americans intended.

They are but I’ll tell you what, champ. You stay over there in your Communist country and I’ll stay here and keep buying and shooting my mean ole guns

With some of the strictest gun laws.

With some of the strictest gun laws.

I added to my post.

And yes - absolutely, Coach. According the Brady Gun Control Report Card, California has among the strictest gun laws in the USA, yet is #2 for shootings in absolute numbers, and pretty high when adjusting for population as well.

California has a high Black and Hispanic population.

Why does Miss ChOAKsondick think it is relevant what laws she wants in the USA when she is Canadian?

Oh brother.

What's the criteria for "mass shooting?"

[Matt]

Oh brother.

Four or more crack entrepreneurs in the same event.

[Mothballs]

Thank God those four Idaho students were stabbed to death and not shot! That would’ve been so much worse! 

[Matt]

33 Black 4-person+ Shootings in 3 weeks.

Fixed.

[Rmj11]

Right Wing nut jobs again. 

[Gym Rat]

Ban inanimate objects!!

The clot shot would have killed them anyway.

There is a major problem going on here. I do agree w/ Oak there.
Removing Guns isn't the answer (bad guys will still have them) but really unsure what can be done at this point...
Society is broken from what it was decades ago.  Guns do make it easier for them.

If no guns, they might mow them over w/ an SUV, or throw Molotov's into crowded clubs, etc. Hard to know...
Violence is everywhere and it will only get worse... Especially with brainless libs and globalists at the helm pushing it, promoting it, inciting it.
(Calling it "their right" when it fits their narrative).
(And allowing them back out w/ a wrist-slap).

If you take states that have close to 100% White populations, the murder rates are virtually nonexistent.

Compare Kansas or Connecticut to Toronto, in Canada.

The reason why the USA has more murder than any other first world country is because they have more Black and Hispanic people.

Compare murder rates by RACE between first world countries.

ANYTHING else is being disingenuous.

Canada now has a 26% non-White population, and we now have more shootings than ever before.

Two people were shot in Thunder Bay not six days ago!

^ Black crack entrepreneurs. Crack entrepreneurs of colour have been very successful here. Most only smoke Marijuana. Well...aside from committing murder, they have been successful here.

33? I’ve heard of 1.

[Rambone]

That’s terrible news, Oak! Holding my adopted children extra tight today with my non-binary life partner!

https://mass-shootings.info/statistics.php?year=2022 . They gave up in 2022 it seems, but you can tell the patterns by looking at the statistics.

You can click on the top right side for a few other years. The media plays with the definition so bad now. Familicide, drug murders, etc.... get lumped in or out depending on if they get called on it, etc.....

Any 4-person+ shooting is a "mass shooting".

Most of those are just Black drive-by shootings, or dealers raiding the crack houses of other dealers.

In those cases, everyone is known to one another, like the recent Black 2-person shooting in my city.

I'd say actual "mass" shootings are 9+ shootings. Only something like 1,000 people died in those in all of American history.

The recent Monterey Park shooter [alleged]:

Crazy jump in Unsolved from May/June 20, presumably Floyd fallout related. They introduced a couple more outdoor locations that year (street/road and park/playground)

why settle for 9?  if you define mass shooting as 100+ injured/killed, we're only looking at 1 mass shooting in US history

problem solved.

Most of them had it coming anyway
