Mass public shooting data for 2025......

[2aguy]

This data comes from the left wing, anti-gun, Mother Jones site....they have a mass public shooting data base where they list all of the mass public shootings in the U.S. since 1982.

They use the standard of 3 deaths in a public shooting, not associated with another crime....it used to be 4 deaths, but the anti-gunners were not getting enough shootings to qualify, so barak obama lowered the number to 3.....

There were 7 mass public shootings in 2025.

24 people were murdered in those shootings.

in 2024 there were 2 mass public shootings, with 8 people murdered.....

Context is crucial​

Historically the term “mass shooting” has been used loosely. Though it’s challenging to settle on what those words really mean, the semantic debate is less important than putting these events in context. This isn’t just a matter of comparing apples to apples so that we can better understand and mitigate these attacks. It’s also about the public’s sense of security. The probability of an American becoming a victim of a public gun massacre is infinitesimal—and overstating that danger causes undue fear.
------
I think more ground could be broken by focusing on three distinct types of cases: indiscriminate public mass shootings (carried out by what the FBI calls “active shooters”), lethal domestic violence (most of which occurs in private homes), and attacks stemming from conventionally understood crimes such as gang activity and armed robbery.

No, There Has Not Been a Mass Shooting Every Day This Year

This inflated stat all over the media isn't just misleading—it's stirring undue fear.

"It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment"
I forget who said that. Some loser, most likely.

And he was correct. Just like it's the cost of having roughly 40,000 deaths a year from driving motorized vehicles so we don't have to be carted around by a horse and carriage.

The states that have the most mass shootings are also the states that have the highest population of blacks and Hispanics.

Keep in mind, those are not mass public shootings.....those are criminal public shootings. They are different from mass public shootings because they are driven by criminals with long histories of crime and violence, and make up the vast majority of gun murder in the U.S......they are concentrated in democrat party controlled cities.

Mass public shootings are the rarest of rare events......7 over the course of the year, 2 last year. These attacks are committed by individuals who usually have no prior criminal record before the attack.......

The people of Iran would have a much easier time throwing off the muslim extremists in their government if they had a 2nd Amendment in their country.....

You prefer slaves, we like freedom.

Gun murder in the U.S. in 2024.....

Source, Grok.....

=======
In 2024, the United States saw a significant decline in gun-related homicides (often referred to as gun murders) following a pandemic-era surge, though levels remained elevated compared to pre-2020 figures.Reliable sources provide the following estimates for gun homicides:

• CDC provisional data → around 15,000–16,000 firearm homicides (down ~14% from nearly 18,000 in 2023).
• =============

Accidental car deaths in the U.S.....in 2024

==========
In 2024, the United States recorded an estimated 39,345 deaths in motor vehicle traffic crashes (commonly referred to as car accidental deaths or traffic fatalities), according to preliminary data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).This figure represents a decline of approximately 3.8% from the 40,901 fatalities reported in 2023, marking the lowest annual total since 2020 and continuing a trend of decreases following pandemic-era peaks.
========

I know that you want to ban guns....but according to your logic....we would first have to ban cars, since they kill more people than guns each year......and those are accidental deaths, making it even worse....since the gun murder deaths are intentional illegal use by criminals.....who should be in prison, but are released over and over again by democrat party judges and prosecutors...

You're ignoring the fact that there are 2.5 million cases of legally-armed citizens using firearms to prevent themselves every year in the US.

 

[2aguy]

As more people not only own guns, but actually carry. them in public for self defense....

How do you anti-gun extremists explain the dramatic decrease in gun murder in the U.S....?

Where in my comment did I ignore that imaginary number you made up?

You think you will stop gun deaths by restricting only some guns?

I gave up on that for the U.S. Gun nuts have already won by flooding 400 million+ guns into the country.

So you are admitting that these gun deaths will not stop unless all guns are confiscated?

Closer to 600 million guns now........need to get more guns in more homes to prevent the insanity you are seeing in Iran...

Surveys conducted by private researchers (such as the well-known Kleck-Gertz study from 1995) suggest figures between 2.5 and 3 million defensiveness gun uses each year. These studies use a broader definition that includes displaying a weapon, often without firing it, to prevent a perceived threat from escalating into a crime.

The large gap between the number of deaths and the number of injuries indicates a large need for marksmanship training of these thugs. Looking at the numbers, there were several mass shootings where no one was killed!

As of today, there is no more $200 NFA tax stamp on suppressors (silencers.)

I bet that burns your ass.
