(Mass shooting here defined as any shooting where 4 or more killed or wounded, including the shooter.). Roughly 1.6 per day, or roughly 3 every 2 days.

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!!!

(Had to update totals with two more mass shootings so far today.)

Random violence propagated by the RW insistence on putting guns in everybody’s hands is not the same as deranged RW domestic terrorism where white guys go to churches, elementary and high schools and hotel rooms to perform deliberate executions.
