FBI definition of mass public shootings for 2024...how many did we have?

[2aguy]

According to the FBI definition...a mass public shooting is an event where at least 3 people are murdered......how many did we actually have in 2024?

Keep in mind...the number used to be 4 murdered...but because that wasn't creating enough mass public shootings for gun control demands...obama lowered the number to 3.....and even with that standard.............we had a total of 2 in 2024....

I call Bullshit

First of all, we know what a mass shooting is

It is some moron grabbing his favorite gun and firing indiscriminately into a crowd of people. The preferred weapon in those shootings is an AR15

A mass shooting is not gang members shooting at each other and killing three people

But you are correct.
Our 40,000 gun deaths a year are mostly handguns
We need to do a better job controlling them

You can keep your AR15 with no larger than a 15 round magazine

Hey....dumb shit........here is the actual definition of mass public shootings.....from Mother Jones...citing the FBI...

US mass shootings, 1982–2024: 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.
-------

• 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.
  ----------------------

Our research focused on indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker. 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.


On top of you not knowing what you are talking about.....of the number of gun deaths in this country, the vast majority are suicides, not murder.....and the vast majority of them are young black men murdering other young black men, in democrat party controlled cities.......where the democrats do not care how many young black men are murdering each other because the racist democrats know that the majority of black Americans will still vote for democrats....

Anti-gun loons lie about mass shootings and 'assault weapons' because they know they can prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.
