Using the definition of mass public shootings, the U.S. experienced 12 mass public shootings in 2022.

12 people out of over 350 million people.

600 million guns in private hands.

Over 20 million AR-15 rifles in private hands.

Over 22 million Americans can legally carry guns in public for self defense.

Total killed in the 12 attacks?

74

To put this into perspective.........

Deer kill on average 200 people a year....


300 people a year are killed climbing ladders...


On average over 300 people a year drown in bathtubs a year....


And to put this in even more perspective.......

In Nice, France, a muslim terrorist driving a rental truck murdered 86 people and wounded 435 in 5 minutes of driving. More people killed in that 5 minutes than each mass public shooting event in U.S. history.
 
Of the 12 mass public shooting attacks, how many were done with rifles?

7

Total killed?

54

An entire year of mass public shootings in the U.S.....

54 killed.

5 minutes of driving by a muslim terrorist using a rental van?

86 killed

There are over 20 million AR-15 rifles in public hands in the U.S...............

Knives were used to murder 1,035 people in 2021.

Hands and feet were used to murder 461 people in 2021.

Blunt objects were used to murder 243 people in 2021.

 
Interesting numbers, OP

For 2023, I would love to see some public hangings .

Perhaps a public Family one to get it rolling .

Crime Family Biden would also be good for Climate Change .
 
Latest data is available for 2020. Here.

There were 45,222 gun deaths in the U.S. in 2020.
SUICIDE: 24,292
HOMICIDE: 19,384
UNINTENTIONAL ACCIDENTAL : 535
LEGAL INTERVENTION: 611*
UNDETERMINED INTENT: 400
 
In Indonesia, private individuals own 100,000 guns, Law Enforcement owns 430,000 guns, and Military owns 1,700,000 guns. Homicide and suicide rates are considerably lower then in USA. Here.

Surely in the wider picture that sort figure helps considerably in the fight for Climate Change .

So let's see if those failed Blue Cities can push the figure toward 100 , 000 for this year .

That list is a lie......they add every gang banger shooting they can, and that isn't the definition of a mass public shooting.......

US mass shootings, 1982–2022: 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.

In 2022, there were at least 20,000 gun suicides and 10,000 gun homicides in USA alone.


And?

Gun suicide is a mental health issue...

The gun homicide rates are a direct result of the policies of the democrat party.....1) attacking the police to the point they can't, or refuse to do their jobs engaging criminals and stopping them....and 2) democrat party judges, prosecutors and politicians making and refusing to enforce laws, and releasing the most violent and dangerous criminals over and over again....
 
In Indonesia, private individuals own 100,000 guns, Law Enforcement owns 430,000 guns, and Military owns 1,700,000 guns. Homicide and suicide rates are considerably lower then in USA. Here.


And how did that work out in Europe?

In the 1920s the governments of Europe began to register and confiscate guns, claiming that these actions would make their citizens safer from criminals.

By the mid 1930s, the German socialists and the countries they controlled began the process of murdering the now disarmed civilian populations of those countries.......

15 million innocent men, women and children murdered by their governments.........after they gave up their guns.

In the entire 246 year history of the United States, our gun murder number is around 2,460,000 people murdered by guns....with the vast majority of those murdered actual criminals...engaged in crime and the criminal lifestyle.

The 15 million murdered in Europe, the 25 million murdered in Russia, the 70 million or more murdered in China.....and all the rest murdered by their governments....were innocent human beings.....

Please....how about for once you address those facts......just once?

And when the government of Indonesia decides to commit mass murder against innocent men, women and children? What will stop them?

You've been lied to -

The Facts
Here’s an important caveat to establish: There is no consistent definition of “mass shooting” or “mass public shooting” across countries, or even among researchers who track them within the United States.

The FBI does not officially define “mass shooting” and does not use the term in Uniform Crime Report records. In the 1980s, the FBI established a definition for “mass murder” as “four or more victims slain, in one event, in one location,” and the offender is not included in the victim count if the shooter committed suicide or was killed in a justifiable homicide, according to a Congressional Research Service report detailing the definitions
.


You haven't a clue with your own definitions in the US. You're trying to claim again that the list of mass murders is the list for mass shootings.

If only you took the time to check my original link and checked the references that it used, then I wouldn't have had to copy and paste Reference 10, and you wouldn't have wasted everyone's time with your silly gun threads

A percentage of the gun homicides listed are justifiable as well.

It's a case of properly understanding English words, as opposed to what Americans think English words mean. Once an English dictionary is followed, there's no goal posts.

Out of interest, if someone shoots many bullets into a crowd killing one or two and injuring several others, what description do gun nuts place on that.

and how high is high, how dark is dark.

You need to set a constant to determine the definition .
