As of August 26th, the US has had 247 mass shootings in the 238 days of 2015.
For those keeping track, that's an average of more than one shooting per day.
These numbers are according to the Mass Shooting Tracker created by the anti-gun subreddit Guns Are Cool.
Wednesday morning's stunning on-air fatal shooting in Roanoke, Virginia of a television reporter and a photographer wasn't even the first shooting of the day. Roughly three hours earlier at 3:15 a.m., four people were shot during a home invasion in Minneapolis.

Yeah right. If you count the days the city curb creatures come out and kill 10+ in a day like bmore or chi town.
ReplyDeleteBammy sez "blaime its on da Bushy."
ReplyDeleteI think you need to separate some of these out. What is your "line" of what's in and what's out?
ReplyDeleteYes, there are a lot of "shootings" each day across the nation, but how many are justified?
Clarity, not sensationalism.
I think the use of the term 'mass' shootings (vs 'multiple' shootings) is pushing an agenda. Trying to make it look like a massacre.
ReplyDeleteMass implies 'many' (like Columbine).
Shooting 3 people is a multiple shooting, not mass.
That is such BS! look at fbi stats. You can't count gang fights. And 2 or 3 people is not a mass shooting. Watch the propaganda flow as they push to take law abiding citizens guns.
ReplyDeleteNow matter how you tweak and classify the stats this seems pretty clear: In 2015, there are gun shooting incidents in which multiple people are killed on a regular basis, and happens more than once a day. It's like the wild, wild West.
