    In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place

    One? In both years, there have been two shootings for every year according to your source. Jesus christ!

      I remembered a different source. The one I linked uses a different definition for “mass shooting”: it counts events where at least four victims are dead or wounded, and includes cases of domestic violence.

      Rest assured, the number is abnormally high for a supposedly “developed” country, whatever criteria you apply.
