Mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and December 2023, by presence of prior signs of shooter's mental health issues

In 72 cases out of a total of 149 reported mass shootings in the United States since 1982, the shooter(s) displayed prior signs of mental health problems. In 17 cases out of 149, there were no signs of mental health issues in the shooters.

Adding:
The authors of the new papers, who specialize in medicine, law or both, find 40 states require reporting to NICS when a court orders an individual committed as an inpatient to a psychiatric care facility. Five states allow but do not require such reporting, while the final 5 states do not have reporting laws covering involuntary inpatient commitments.

1. How can those numbers be right? - out of a total of 149 reported mass shootings in the United States since 1982? eom

3. I don't think this is a representation of all mass shootings.

Statistica is expensive.
Some sites presenting statistics exclude some events such as armed robbery, gang violence, or domestic violence. Others may have a higher threshold number of victims and may only count deaths.

6. I see the confusion, I think it's because...

I see the confusion, I think it's because the report is in 'military time'. So 1982 and December 2023 would be ...

Let's see, 1982, minus 1200.... 7:82 pm, rounding out as 8:22pm and 2023, minus 1200, would be 8:23 pm.

So, in one minute, on a December day, there were 149 mass shootings, which sounds about right. Well, not 'right', exactly, but close to what we're told every time a car backfires.


Hope that helps...

7. I'm in Broward County. The city I live in just installed gunshot detectors all over the place.

There's lots of "opportunities" with lots of mass shootings.
Uniquely American "opportunities".
I read that stock values in security corporate will skyrocket.

Some people say that I gotta go git myself some stock, so I can profit from the mayhem and murder.
For my kids future.

8. Gun shot

detectors in my city have been a bust. By the time the cops get there, the shooter is often gone.

12. Yep, because if the perp used a knife,

it would be listed as a stabbing. Fists, pipe, etc., assault.
