I know it's "only 3" but our government classifies anything more than 1 a mass shooting (it helps the tragic ratings to push for more) Similar statistics when they use "children"as 20 years old and younger and "school shootings" for any shooting within 1320' of a school
yes, I agree... there are more shooting deaths in the US, but that number does not equate to more suicides or homicides. I don't know the actual number, but if you take out the 60% that are suicides and that from the remaining 40% it's said that the numbers are approximately 70% of those are "gang related". That leaves few that are causes by "average citizens" that are gun owners
