I wonder if classification has made the mass shooting numbers look different. In the 90s I remember everyone just blamed gangs. Shoot out in a parking lot, “they were probably in a gang.”. But soon as you list gun violence under gang related, it no longer falls under mass shooting according to the FBI and such. So even if 6 people get killed, that incident wouldn’t show up.
Today I rarely see people lumping acts into something like that.
Literally today when Kirk was gently relieved from the laborious task of breathing air meant for people better than him, when someone asked “how many mass shootings have there been in the last ten years”, his response was “excluding gang violence?”
Yes, it’s mostly a US-only issue but you know that other countries, Australia, looking at you, that love to be ban happy with any flimsy justification.
Not unless these guns are stolen which they often do.
Could also signify a difference in culture or how guns are treated.
If I have 10 guns, I might as well have one on me, one in my car, and one for my dog.

I remember being in middleschool when this was disproven
His father was killed because of the Hula Hoop.
We need to stop reporting what these brainless twats are saying. Just freeze 'em out.
The same shit for my whole fucking life. It’s amazing.

My bad…I ate the last goddamn neuron in this assholes head
My condolences on your imminent starvation
This has already been disproven …repeatedly
I blame the Bible for mass shootings, and I guarantee that there is more evidence to support my claim than his.
Ban the bible!
Damn boomer… We still doing this old trick in 2025.

Hilarious. The GoobaGators are silencing anyone posting this over in KIA. I thought they hated this stuff?
KIA?
r/KotakuInAction the Nazi hide out.
Funny thing about their Nazi problem. Is they deny people are Nazi’s after they post 1488 bullshit. It’s pathetic.
He’s says a lot of things but they’re all bullshit
Well at least they finally trained someone to be a good shot
How is 120 per capita (USA) comparable to 26?
120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??
According to TFA:
So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.
Not unless these guns are stolen which they often do. Could also signify a difference in culture or how guns are treated. If I have 10 guns, I might as well have one on me, one in my car, and one for my dog.
But I agree it might be comparable
