Wow. I had no idea a bunch of them happen every month! From my perspective in the UK, we get news of them every now and then. Turns out the ones that hit our news are just the big ones.

Check the details. What constitutes a mass shooting is always what you think it’d be.

Ah, the Guardian stretching definitions for outrage attention

They used the definition that the FBI use of 4 or more people shot. I think that is a pretty good definition.

Most of them are gang violence. Not worth reporting by the main stream media.
