Are you looking at mass shooting "events" or is 30 dead in one shooting count as 1? The body count doesn't matter or does it. Do you count criminals killing criminals in that? Or does it matter. Does the killings of a bunch of "bad" guys count?
In plain English - there have been 353 separate mass shooting events (defined as 4 or more victims - killed or wounded) this year in the US. Thirty dead in one mass shooting is counted as one mass shooting. If a bad guy shoots four bad guys, that's one mass shooting. I think you're missing the point somewhat. In Oz, we've had NO mass shootings, of ANY description since 1996. None, nil, nada, zip, zero, sweet fuck all.
If you like, I'll ring around and see what each of the shooters had for breakfast
