Number of mass public shootings in U.S. this year as of May 16, 2022?

[2aguy]

Once again a gun lover posts a half-truth, and when put forth the data of mass shootings in the link below, it provides enough evidence to support more mass shooting events are common in the United States than in any developed nation:

A Guide to Mass Shootings in America

Here is Mother Jones’ groundbreaking database, now documenting 148 public attacks since 1982.

Oh....I see...I looked at the title......I apologize......I know you are an idiot.....but my title was not clear.....I fixed it........

That better? You doofus?

And just to question your post......

What did I state that was a "half-truth?"

Everything in that first post is the whole truth....and I even provided a link to the Mother Jones data base where the data for all the other years is also found.....

YOu are such an idiot.

Read the title of your link, Bozo.

Dipshit.....I fixed it.......and yet...you are still a moron, since I did, in fact, link to Mother Jones and everything in the post #1 was true...

"Dipshit"? Aw...I'm so concerned with being insulted by a punk like you. Of course you are hiding behind a keyboard and I suppose are so cowardly you don't leave home without a gun.

The source...Mother Jones Mass Public Shooting Data Base....

So, from your own quoted figures, you had a total of 99 mass shotings/spree killings, 68 of which took place in the last decade. Compare that to the UK, with our banning easily conceilable handguns and licensing and registering all other firearms, we had....2.

Interesting no-one ever quotes the mass shooting where no-one actually died, but suffered gunshot wounds of varying severity; seems a bit callous to me.

Britain...before they banned and confiscated guns, averaged 1 mass public shooting every 10 years.....after they banned and confiscated guns, gun crime went up, and their average mass public shootings stayed about the same, you just had a mass public shooting last year....

You had mass shootings before you banned guns, you have them after you banned guns......

A gunman in southwest England killed five people, including a young girl, before turning his weapon on himself, police say. It's the deadliest mass shooting in Britain in more than 10 years.

In our country?

We have 330 million Americans.

How many committed mass public shootings in 2021?

6

Out of 330 million Americans....

In 2020?

5

And the number killed?

43 in 2021.......

Deer kill 200 people each year

Ladders kill 300 people each year

Lawn mowers kill between 90-100 people each year...

Knives are used to murder over 1,500 people each year...

Cars kill 39,000 people....

Your gun control laws didn't stop your last mass public shooting, a shooting that occurred at about the same rate as before you banned guns......

And before that mass public shooting?

You had one in 2010....and your guy killed more people than the Buffalo shooter......

The Cumbria shootings was a shooting spree which occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, taxi driver Derrick Bird, killed twelve people and injured eleven others before killing himself in Cumbria, England, United Kingdom.

Britain, before the gun ban and confiscation averaged about 1 mass public shooting every 10 years...and that has been right on track after the ban....

90s...... Dunblane mass shooting....16 killed

2010s....Cumbria......13 killed

Hmmm...seems your killers killed more people than the Buffalo shooter did....

Then you have the most recent...

2021...Plymouth....6 killed

How do British criminals get fully automatic weapons?

Four gunmen have been jailed for more than 60 years in total after six gangsters shot down innocent bystanders outside a church in a gang war described as being 'like the Wild West'.

Two rivaling gangs armed with six guns began shooting at each other at a ticketed event in a church hall at Rigg Approach in Leyton, north London, at 5.04am on October 28, 2017.

Around 300 partygoers ran for their lives as at least eight rounds were fired from an Uzi sub-machine gun inside the packed venue before the six gang members continued the gun fight on the street.

Thank you for making my point. Since we banned handguns in 1997, America has had 104 mass/spree killings, the UK has had ... 4.

You can carry on with your cut/paste torrent now. Still won't alter the facts.

Nice try at deflection from the subject of your own thread. You keep bringing up criminals, but keep stating that stats including criminals don't count, make up your mind.

Wrong.....we have 330 million Americans.....we had 6 mass public shootings in 2021, two so far in 2022....out of 330 million people...

And, doofus......before you banned guns you had 1 mass public shooting every 10 years....after banning guns you have had 1 mass public shooting every 10 years.......showing that guns didn't create mass public shootings, and banning guns didn't stop them.....

Nothing you say supports anything you believe.......

And you still can't get past the 15 million people murdered by European governments and their socialist conquerors........

No......stats about criminals don't count for mass public shootings.......criminals using guns for crime are a different problem...one that Britain has despite banning and confiscating guns....

Police struggle to stop flood of firearms into UK


Police and border officials are struggling to stop a rising supply of illegal firearms being smuggled into Britain, a senior police chief has warned.

Chief constable Andy Cooke, the national police lead for serious and organised crime, said law enforcement had seen an increased supply of guns over the past year, and feared that it would continue in 2019

The Guardian has learned that the situation is so serious that the National Crime Agency has taken the rare step of using its legal powers to direct every single police force to step up the fight against illegal guns.

The NCA has used tasking powers to direct greater intelligence about firearms to be gathered by all 43 forces in England and Wales.

Another senior law enforcement official said that “new and clean” weapons were now being used in the majority of shootings, as opposed to guns once being so difficult to obtain that they would be “rented out” to be used in multiple crimes.

Cooke, the Merseyside chief constable, told the Guardian: “We in law enforcement expect the rise in new firearms to continue. We are doing all we can. We are not in a position to stop it anytime soon.

“Law enforcement is more joined up now than before, but the scale of the problem is such that despite a number of excellent firearms seizures, I expect the rise in supply to be a continuing issue.”

The increasing supply of guns belies problems with UK border security and innovations by organised crime gangs. Smugglers have increasingly found new ways and innovative routes to get guns past border defences.


Cooke said that the dynamics of the streets of British cities had changed and that criminals were more willing to use guns: “If they bring them in people will buy them. It’s a kudos thing for organised criminals.”

Simon Brough, head of firearms at the NCA, said: “The majority of guns being used are new, clean firearms ... which indicates a relatively fluid supply.”

He said shotguns were 40% of the total, with an increase in burglaries to try and steal them.

Handguns are the next biggest category, most often smuggled in from overseas, with ferry ports such as Dover being a popular entry point into the UK for organised crime groups:

“We’re doing a lot to fight back against it,” Brough said, adding that compared to other European countries, the availability in the UK was relatively lower.

No......stats about criminals don't count for mass public shootings....

So why did you post #28?

 

[2aguy]

So why did you post #28?

Because you are the one saying your gun control laws work.....I guess you guys forgot to add fully automatic machine pistols to your list of banned guns.....

 

[Vagabond63]

...showing that guns didn't create mass public shootings, and banning guns didn't stop them.....

No guns don't create mass public shootings, but easy access to them creates more mass public shootings.

 

[Vagabond63]

...I guess you guys forgot to add fully automatic machine pistols to your list of banned guns.....

We did, do keep up. I suspect the Uzi mentioned was a semi-auto version, which is still legally available here in .22 calibre.

 

[2aguy]

No guns don't create mass public shootings, but easy access to them creates more mass public shootings.

No actually they don’t….over 330 million people in the U.S. How many mass public shootings in 2021?

6

There are close to 600 million guns in private hands…..

How you get that 6 guns and 6 people out of 330 million Americans and 600 million guns create more mass shooters is just insane and irrational


We had 2 mass public shootings in 2020

5 in 2019..:

You are an irrational extremist…

 

[2aguy]

We did, do keep up. I suspect the Uzi mentioned was a semi-auto version, which is still legally available here in .22 calibre.

You are just guessing and are you allowed to use Uzi machine pistols to shoot at other people in London? Is that an exemption to your gun control laws?

And do you suggest that the people shooting those likely illegal, likely automatic machine pistols were able to legally own them as they shot at people in the street?

Please do tell…..

Here's the correct list of mass shootings -

List of mass shootings in the United States in 2022 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I lost count due to scrolling the page, but there's been some 200 mass shootings. A mass shooting is where 4 or more people (excluding the perpetrator), were shot and injured/killed. Those gun nuts trying to twist things, claim that 4 or more have to have been killed for it to be a mass shooting.

So basically, you seemed to have missed "00" off your number.

Then what about a list of 1, 2, or 3 people injured/killed. That'll run into the thousands.

That would be wrong.....they include gang shootings in that list...so no, that isn't the correct list....

the Mother Jones Mass Public Shooting Data Base is the accurate list, using the FBI definition of mass public shooting....

According to that list, there were 2 mass public shootings since Jan. 1, 2022....there were 6 mass public shootings in 2021....

Gun owners did not make up the definition....the FBI did, and then obama lowered the number from 4 killed to 3 killed because they weren't getting enough mass public shootings to push gun control...

Do keep up...
