Now filter that by suicide and crime/gang related, and you will realize that the type of Maas shootings the public concerns itself about (school shootings, mall shootings etc) are a very small portion of gun violence and not as common as the media portrays them.
That measurement is ANY instance where 3 or more people are killed or injured, the motivation or background is completely removed from the data.
wait... do you really think that filtering mass shootings by use case makes the whole thought of living/visiting America a safer one? lmao
normalize it however you wantz you do you, but the rest of the world looks at this shit like wtf is going on over there?
All if the data is way more nuanced than you are willing to admit. You are very unlikely to get shot going about your daily life in america, or visiting. Just because the media hypes it up doesn't mean Americans fear for their lives everyday. You would be way more likely to get shot in Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Columbia, or by suicide by firearm in Canada, Australia or Germany
