Good. Because, according to the link YOU posted, there have been 148 mass shootings in the U.S. over the last 41 years. In other words, an average of 3.6 per year. So let's say the average number of those who died was 10 per incident, which means an average of 36 people were killed each year in a "mass shooting'.

Now, compare those 36 deaths to the 16,000 or so homicides in 2019, and then ask me who is putting forth disingenuous, ad hominem, straw man arguments and other logical fallacies denoting a weak argument.
