It's doable. The numbers of crimes within our country and the percentage of the population do too. Even if the fools errand there can provide gun controls - too many innocent people are murdered everyday:
Gun violence in the U.S. has taken an average of roughly 118 lives each day in 2023, according to data from Gun Violence Archive.

Enough stated?
Wow....all the bullshit anti-gun, extremist sources that have been shown to lie ...........nice list....
1) democrat policies in the cities they control create the vast majority of gun murder...not guns in the hands of normal people....
2) the vast majority of all gun deaths are suicides...so mental health, not guns, is the issue
3) Actual number of mass public shootings in 2022....... 12...total murdered...73. out of over 350 million AMericans...
4) Number of mass public shootings so far in 2023?...... 8.
US mass shootings, 1982–2023: 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...
