it seems so far 5 have been killed

in the Odessa shooting

So terrorism and gang violence don't count

So CC isn't a mass shooting

by the looks of it they publish a piece like this after every incident

the very same title

i am attempting to find the actual Congressional Research Service statistics

nah 300 mass shootings

don't look into the numbers

listen and believe

why is this so hard to find jesus christ

>when mass shooting fatalities pale in comparison to the death rates of nearly any other fatality in the country, but they're all you ever want to talk about

@Spooky Melon Because they don't want the public to know

you know whats weird muten

a lot of this is from 2013

even if i search 2018

@Spooky Melon

Are you using google? They seem to have pre-fucked their algorithms. Even bing works better. If you remember how to boolean HotBot is still in service.

@Jym dude i found the congressional research service definition, and i cannot find anything listing the amount of shootings under it

i've got the definition

but no list using it

gets my noggin joggin

I'll grant as a cause of death its not a majority statistic. But the fed really needa to come up with a response other than "thoughts and prayers" for once.

even if its looser gun regs, just fucking anything is better than nothing

i mean, its hard to do something without literally removing people's rights to have a gun, aside from preventing the 300 million populace from ever reaching such a mental state

granted

at least if more people *did* have guns

they could shoot back

but then things get hazy

because info is limited and it may or may not be hard to know **who** the aggressive shooter is

I just think gun control is pointless because it will leave law-abiding citizens unarmed for when shit actually goes down

so, doing some research

and it'll put us in the same place as Britain

the best info i can get here is from mother jones, now, if we look at it

here is there entire 2018 list

11 shootings*

now lets look at this deeper

>deeper

awoo

Cruz could have been avoided if the police did their fucking job
