Siri Gibberish translator, "Our laws are so tough we have had had 307 mass shootings in 311 days."
Tell us how safe we are please. Only a delusional nut thinks we don't have a firearm violence problem. Only a delusional nut thinks arm everyone is working.
And fuck what doctors think, I am sure they love seeing bullet holes in bodies in the E.R. every day.
If our laws were working so well, if our flooded market made us safer, we would not have the amount of firearm violence we do.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Except that it's not. Mother Jones is playing it safe. Which is understandable, but it's still what they're doing.
Take a look at gun violences list. Youll find all of mother jones stuff included....what you'll notice, is all that mother jones omits.... and it;s alot. Have there been that many mass shootings? Yes. Demonstrably, inarguably.. yes. Most did not lead to fatalities, or led to too few fatalities (muddle that one over for a minute)..because we're getting pretty damned good at trauma related to gunshot wounds (who knows why...lol  )

Sorry, ya lost me. What's it missing? Is there a more detailed mass shooting database?

Yes. It's linked above. Take a look. There have been more mass shootings in 2018 alone than all of the mass shootings tracked by mother jones since 1982.
Mother jones isn't tracking mass shootings..they're tracking high media profile mass shootings.

I think mass shootings are an overblown problem. I don't mean they aren't a tragedy. Just that they get so much more media time than they warrent. Partly because most of the victims and shooters are white.
If you are concerned about gun violence, 2/3rds of that, 20,000 people are suicides. 2017 had 281 victims off mass shootings. So a little more than 1% the number of suicides by firearm alone.
Where is the media coverage for that? Why does nobody prioritize when it comes to gun violence? Instead they focus on anamoly events and go 'this is the problem we need to give the most attention to' when it is a tiny sliver.

-we've been averaging very nearly a mass shooting a day for years now. Most of the victims of mass shootings with high media profile are white. This is not true of mass shootings as a whole. None of the people tracked in that database were suicides. They specifically excluded them.
