And so this story of the first mass public shooting in 2020 disappears.....because the shooter was Black and more than likely a democrat...whose wife, at least, supported elizabeth warren....
https://www.americanthinker.com/blo...silent_about_the_milwaukee_mass_shooting.html
On Wednesday, an angry ex-employee got a gun, put a silencer on it, went to the MillersCoors facility where he had once worked, and shot five people to death before shooting himself. One would expect to have a barrage of news stories about America’s gun violence problem and the need to ban guns.
----
The reason for the media’s silence became apparent when the media identified the shooter: 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill was black.
This meant that the media couldn’t use its white supremacist narrative to justify grabbing guns.
The narrative broke down even further when social media posts revealed that Ferrill may well have been an Elizabeth Warren supporter, an assumption arising from the fact that his wife proudly posted a selfie of herself last year at an Elizabeth Warren rally:
On her various social media pages, which have now been deleted, Ferrill’s wife posted photos of her family and expressing liberal political views. In July 2019, Ferrill’s wife attended a speech by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren at South Division High School Gym in Milwaukee. Following the speech, Ferrill’s wife took a photo with the Massachusetts senator.
If the media were genuinely committed to gutting the Second Amendment, they would have promoted this shooting equally with other mass shootings. That they didn’t is a reminder that Democrat values tend to be situational. Guns are all right in some hands but not in others.
For example, even though Democrat-run inner cities are a place of routine gun carnage, the media tend to ignore all the black-on-black shooting that takes place in those cities, despite the sad fact that those shootings account for most of the non-suicide gun deaths in America. This silence suggests that Democrats don’t care about blacks, no matter how much they claim to.
Democrats are also loath to dwell on these shootings because they invariably occur in tightly gun-controlled communities and are carried out by people possessing illegal guns. Thus, anti-gun laws made no difference to the deadly outcome.
First mass shooting?
You NRA cock suckers have made life in America so dangerous and mass murder so commonplace that you don't remember all of these?

List of mass shootings in the United States in 2020 - Wikipedia
Moron....you are mixing mass public shootings with gang shootings...you mope....
You have to mix up the two because if you don't...people will realize that there were only 10 mass public shootings in 2019 in a country of over 320 million people with over 600 million guns in private hands and over 18.6 million people actually carrying guns for self defense...
10.......10 individuals who committed mass public shootings....the rest? Are criminals, who have been released over and over again by the democrat party in democrat party controlled cities.......
See...you doofus.......10 individuals are a different problem from the democrat party releasing violent, known, gang members and other criminals over and over again........you don't care about actual crime...you only hate guns and gun owners, so you have no real solutions......
US mass shootings, 1982-2020: Data from Mother Jones’ investigation
Dating back to at least 2005, the FBI and leading criminologists essentially defined a mass shooting as a single attack in a public place in which four or more victims were killed. We adopted that baseline for fatalities when we gathered data in 2012 on three decades worth of cases.
-------
Our research focused on indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker.
- Here is a description of the criteria we use:
----------------------
- The perpetrator took the lives of at least four people. A 2008 FBI report identifies an individual as a mass murderer—versus a spree killer or a serial killer—if he kills four or more people in a single incident (not including himself), typically in a single location. (*In 2013, the US government’s fatality baseline was revised down to three; our database reflects this change beginning from Jan. 2013, as detailed above.)
- The killings were carried out by a lone shooter. (Except in the case of the Columbine massacre and the Westside Middle School killings, which involved two shooters.)
- The shootings occurred in a public place. (Except in the case of a party on private property in Crandon, Wisconsin, and another in Seattle, where crowds of strangers had gathered, essentially constituting a public crowd.)
- Crimes primarily related to gang activity or armed robbery are not included, nor are mass killings that took place in private homes (often stemming from domestic violence).
- Perpetrators who died or were wounded during the attack are not included in the victim tallies.
- We included a handful of cases also known as “spree killings“—cases in which the killings occurred in more than one location, but still over a short period of time, that otherwise fit the above criteria.
We exclude shootings stemming from more conventionally motivated crimes such as armed robbery or gang violence.
(Or in which the perpetrators have not been identified.) Other news outlets and researchers have since published larger tallies that include a wide range of gun crimes in which four or more people have been either wounded or killed. While those larger datasets of multiple-victim shootings are useful for studying the broader problem of gun violence, our investigation provides an in-depth look at a distinct phenomenon—from the firearms used and mental health factors to the growing copycat problem. Tracking mass shootings is complex; we believe ours is the most useful approach for studying this specific phenomenon.

The actual number of mass shootings from Mother Jones.......tell me Mother Jones is part of the NRA moron.....
Here you go...the number of mass public shootings according to Mother Jones...rabid, anti gun, left wing news source.....not the NRA...
The list below comes from the old definition of 4 killed to make a shooting a mass shooting...if you now go to the link there are more than listed below...but that is because Mother Jones changed the list from the time I first posted it...and changed to obama's new standard of only 3 dead to make a mass shooting...
I have put obama's updated number in parenthesis..........
we will see....

She knows she is adding in gang shootings because if she went by just actual mass shootings not done by criminals that shouldn't have guns then she would lose her argument...
Three people die daily on Texas roadways and yet those like that poster will ignore the reality that you will get killed in a car accident by a bad driver before being killed in a mass shooting by a mentally ill person...
There is no intelligent rationale for mass murder.
Then stop allowing illegal gun ownership and enforce the laws you already have!
