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

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...
The list is a list of mass shootings in America in 2022. It does not matter who knew who, the colour of the perpetrators shirt, or who they associate with; you cannot squirm and cherry pick your definition of a mass shooting. If you had mass killings by shooting, then yes, two. But mass shootings are 4 or more injured by gunfire, then it's over 200. And like I said, how many shootings injured 1, 2 or 3 people? Probably thousands.

You're an idiot.

Dipshit….gang members shooting at other gangs members is not the same crime as a nut walking into a public space and shooting at innocent people.

You need it to be the same cause otherwise the number of mass public shootings in the U.S. is microscopic……only two so far this year in a country of over 330 million people….6 last year,2021 and 2 total in 2020…

Those numbers come from the Mother Jones Mass Public Shooting Data Base….they use the actual definition of mass public shootings….they are also rabidly anti-gun, left wing nuts….

Well thicko, it's public knowledge you clowns over hype perceived problems that can only be resolved with a gun. The day Congress cancels the 2nd Amendment will be the start of clearing up America's Achilles Heal, the gun nuts.
 
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.
Please demonstrate the necessary relationship between the gun control laws in the UK and its lower rate of mass shootings.
 
2........

2 nuts, in the first 5 months of this year.........out of over 330 million Americans...

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


This time last year we had 5 out of the 6 for the year.

14 people killed so far.

Remember......Deer kill 200 people a year.

Ladders kill 300.....
Update your lying list pony boy
 
It's kind of weird that the FBI uses the word 'shootings' rather than 'killings' to define a measure based on how many people were killed, but here we are.

I'm not convinced that the effect of these shootings can be measured by a simple body count. After all, by that notion, the Challenger explosion wasn't that bad, because it "only" caused seven deaths, and all the instances where someone tried really hard to kill a lot of people but just wasn't very good at it don't get recorded at all. That doesn't seem right.

There is no relationship at all.

The worst School Shooting in history was the Beslan School Shooting in the Russian Federation where more than 300 students were killed.

Russia has strict gun control which didn't prevent the horror at all.
 
Mass public shootings as of Jan. 1…..3

3 people out of 330 million

The latest?

Known to the school and police…..violent at school, and at home…..self mutilation and shooting people with BB guns…

This info was expected from past wxperience with young killers who do this

That was an attack by Chechen terrorists. That's kind of a different issue.

I think the worst school shooting that wasn't due to the military or terrorists was Virginia Tech.

School shooters in America are called "domestic terrorists", and the Chechens are domestic to the Russian Federation, Chechnya is just one of their states.
 
Rational people ALWAYS ask what motivates a person towards certain actions.

In fact, this provides the very basis of our legal system. If outcome was all that mattered, a person who fell asleep at the wheel and killed a pedestrian would receive the same punishment as a person who killed somebody intentionally.

Gangland murders are motivated by different attitudes than random attacks on strangers. To conflate the two simply because a person is a mindless partisan is ridiculous.

That was a college, which is a different dynamic.....when you say school shooting people automatically think small children, not adults in college.

You're quiet today, feeling spanked are we!!

Did you know the dictionary has a different meaning between shooting and killings, moron.

Yeah.....there is murder and there is killing....they can be very different...you doofus.
 
No.....what you don't understand is that Mother Jones uses the actual definition of Mass public shootings......the shootings you listed are not mass public shootings because they are gang or crime related.........

Here......their definition and the data base totals.....keep in mind, the total number of killed to qualify as a mass public shooting used to be 4, it is now 3....obama lowered the number because he wanted more shootings classified as mass public shootings...

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.

The actual number of mass shootings from Mother Jones......

Here you go...the number of mass public shootings according to Mother Jones...rabid, anti gun, left wing news source.....not the NRA...

The list below comes from the old definition of 4 killed to make a shooting a mass shooting...if you now go to the link there are more than listed below...but that is because Mother Jones changed the list from the time I first posted it...and changed to obama's new standard of only 3 dead to make a mass shooting...

330 million Americans......how many committed mass public shootings in 2021....

6

How many did they murder....

43

Deer kill 200 people a year.....

Lawn mowers between 90-100 people a year....

Ladders 300 people a year....

bathtubs 350 people a year...

Cars killed over 39,000 people in 2019...

So....6 people in a country of over 330 million committed mass public shootings....and for this, you think we should ban 600 million guns...?

Total number of mass public shootings by year....

Well, yesterday was a pretty big day for guns. There's what, 20 little kids who won't be threatening anyone or doing any crimes now.

Is America safer because of all our guns?

Let's ask the parents.

Yes...the U.S. is safer because normal Americans have guns....

The Europeans in the 1920s banned and confiscated guns from their people......in the 1930s the German socialists murdered 15 million men, women and children........do you know how big that number is? That happened in just 6 years........barely 15 years after the countries of Europe took guns away from normal people....

Americans use their guns 1.1 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies, murders, stabbings, beatings, and last year they stopped 4 mass public shootings........

So, you don't really understand the issue....

Last year we had 6 mass public shootings, 43 people killed.....

6 people out of over 330 million Americans...

43 people killed by mass public shooters...

Deer kill 200 people a year.

Ladders kill 300 people a year.

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

So mass public shootings are the rarest of rare events......and they are horrible when they happen.......but when a criminal attacks you in your home or on the street...or the government begins to round up innocent people.....guns in the hands of good people save lives...more lives than are taken by mass public shooters.

Our numbers are shameful. It's not guns. It's our culture. We hate each other and the government. Can't be involved by strict gun licensure.

Here you are blabbing about deer.

Mass shootings aren't rare in America.
