Mass shootings are a fairly unique problem, putting them in a piechart compared to other murders isn't really helpful.

It is when you're trying to combat the media narrative that covers them around the clock to make mass shootings out to be more of an issue than they really are.


didnt know you've all devolved to the point where mass shootings are now considered such a common phenomenon that needs no reporting in the media. What's this? Pakistan now?

By what definition?
We have had 14 mass shootings in USA this year.
How many did we have between 1900 and 1980?
14!

If it doesn't even register as half a percent of the total amount of annual murders, it's not common. I think that's a fair enough definition.

Because death count of mass shootings is the real concern not the fact they are happening at an increasing frequency.

Yes, the death count of mass shootings is what makes up less than half a percent of murders. Not total mass shootings (which would be invisible on the pie chart)

i mean it sucks, but stuff like Vegas or TX isnt common. its plastered all over the news making it seem like its an every day thing. most other types of "mass" shootings are basically gangs doing drivebys on each other.

theres a lot of ways to help prevent this stuff, all of them would be an immense undertaking (not that we shouldnt try).

and we can do absolutely nothing to stop it from happening
