I haven’t heard about one in a long time. That’s great news, but why? Is something being done or is it just coincidence?

It seems like not that long ago that they were a regular occurrence.


They will be coming back shortly to help start chipping away at that pesky 2nd amendment again.

Yeah, Mass Shooting Tracker started after Sandy Hook and their definition is at least 4 getting wounded (including the gunman). So Obama and Pelosi ran with it.
Kinda backfires though because then most mass shooters end up being black.

I don't even want to think about it. If it happens even the Supreme Court will find a way to rule for gun confiscation.

I give it 4 months before the next major mass shooting happens so Biden can push gun control

We had one in Greenville, SC this summer where like 10-12 people were shot and 2 were killed at a “nightclub.”

It happened in a historically shitty area of town where one overwhelming group of people live. You can figure out why it didn’t make the national news.

Crazy is the new normal. Mass shootings are not as interesting as they once were.

The mass shootings are still happening at mostly the same rate, it’s just the wrong kind to be reported on the news.



This is true as well. Just because you are not hearing about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. You only hear about what media decides to report on.
