Seven shootings over the weekend, including a massacre at a Dallas-area outlet mall over the weekend, brought the total number of mass shootings in the U.S. this year over 200, according to the non-profit Gun Violence Archive (GVA).
According to its tracker, there have been 202 incidents in which four or more people, other than the attacker, were shot this year alone.
The U.S. crossed the 200-mass shooting threshold mid-May last year and the year prior, and didn’t get there until mid-to-late June in 2020 and 2019. Between 2016 and 2018, the country passed 200 mass shootings in late July.

How many if you eliminate Chicongo?..................

A more likely explanation is the availability of drugs legal like marijuana and illegal like fentanyl.
It goes along with “mental illness” being talked about big time.
Changing the definition changes the data set.

No mention of two mass shootings in Serbia this week or the murder of four children by a man with an axe in Brazil.
It is happening all over the world but shootings in the US is the only ones publicized.
Notice how fast the knife murder of a hiker in Phoenix has been swept under the rug.
Mass “shootings” rather than mass “killings” to make the number more impressive for the gun grabbers. Last week (before TX incident this weekend), IIRC, I read there had only been 5 mass “killings” by gun this year. How many of their cited mass “shootings” occurred by gun grabber voters within gun grabber centerpiece cities, like Chicago, would be an interesting breakdown.
Brandon mentioned this the other day. Looks like this was his source.
It all comes down to the criteria one wants to use to define a mass shooting.
Their definitions & their Math are mixed up.
A MASS SHOOTING is AN EVENT that kills 4 or more persons.
The count of 200 is the count of the victims-—not the EVENTS...
If they are tracking these “mass shootings” they COULD TELL YOU the race of the shooters… but they won’t. That’s because the great bulk of these incidents involve blacks shooting at other groups of blacks at funerals, parties, outside of clubs or wherever.
John Lott, please pick up the courtesy phone.
Did they mean MASS SHOOTINGS as branDUHn said?
These “mass shootings” are just a by product, an after effect, of our sick society.
No amount of foolish gun control talk will solve this problem. Only when we return to our senses and start locking up the insane criminals.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” ( 2 Chronicles 7:14)
NEVER will they address the root causes of the psycho mental issues caused by:
1) Lack of a father in the home
2) Destruction of the nuclear family
3) COMPLETE failure of the indoctrination centers (aka, public schools and “woke” colleges)
4) Lack of discipline from REAL jobs, with REAL responsiblities, and REAL Law Enforcement without “Plea Bargaining” allowing problematic societal mis-fits to roam the streets.
How many of the 200 shootings were committed by dems?
95 - 98% ?
If you blame black violence on Trump, yes.
The statistics are generally the same, but black men, historically commit around 70% of mass shootings in the USA.
https://mass-shootings.info/statistics.php
2019 — Blacks 68%
2020 — Blacks 73%
2021 — Blacks 75%
2022 — Blacks 71%
95% of these shootings are by black men.
Blacks make up roughly 12.6% of the USA population and black men make up roughly 6.5% of the population overall.
So 6.5% of the population commit 70% of the mass shootings.
Or the hate crime by a black man in Tulsa.
He was just walking up to random whites and shooting them in the back of the head.
