Last year, 2023, there were 12 mass public shootings....2022, there were 12 mass public shootings...
The anti-gun extremists tell us there were over 600.....never explaining that they consider a man committing suicide in the school parking lot on a Saturday night at midnight as school shooting. They also consider a student being robbed at gun point, off campus.....as a school shooting.....
Here is some truth....
There is a reason that Uvalde or Lewiston get the news coverage that they do and you don’t hear about these other 600 cases. What makes these attacks newsworthy is that the shooter tries to kill as many people as possible in a public place. The FBI active shooting reports concentrate on shootings that occur in public and do not involve some other crime such as robbery. Traditionally, the FBI has classified “mass” as four or more people being murdered.
The vast majority of the GVA numbers involve rival drug gang members. We hear about all the shootings in Chicago, but the individual attacks almost never get national coverage because they overwhelmingly involve drug gangs. Any type of murder is a tragedy, but the causes and solutions differ for drug gang fights and school shootings.
Since 1998, there have never been more than eight mass shootings in a public place not involving another crime in a year. These are referred to as mass public shootings. The annual average has been 3.9 attacks and 33.1 murders. In 2023, there were seven attacks.

Biden overlooks the fact that the El Paso and Buffalo mass murders hated blacks because they were environmentalists and felt that blacks were causing overpopulation by having too many children.

The Truth About Mass Shootings
When another shooting happens at a place such as a school or a mall, politicians and the media are apt to claim that many hundreds of mass shootings occur each year. “Over the last year since Uv
