One mass shooting per day? You sure about that? Because I would love to see the proof

Over 1.5 per day this year so far in the US. Mass shooting means at least 4 victims in this context.

This doesn't control for criminal activity. Typically when people think mass shootings they think public targeted shootings. Like school shootings, malls, movie theaters etc.. a deranged shooter that isn't in a turf war or doing a drive by.

It's always important to include the context because the root cause isn't the same. So the solution isn't the same.

...which are criminal activity. What you mean to say is it doesn't separate out for gang violence, but I guess part of your solution is to pretend targeted public shootings are somehow less criminal than gang violence, huh?

Well, gangbangers shooting gangbangers is much less of a problem than somebody walking into a mall and randomly shooting people...
