While the attack at the holiday party in San Bernardino, Calif., and the June shooting at the Emanuel A.M.E. church in Charleston, S.C., will remain seared in public consciousness, in 2015, mass public shootings remain the least common form of gun violence in America.

Focusing on the widely accepted FBI definition – an incident in which four or more victims are shot and killed – there have been 22 mass shootings this year, according to a Monitor analysis of two crowdsourced databases that rely on news reports.

In these 22 incidents – which averaged about one every 16 days – 133 people were killed and 52 were wounded. The shooters were usually white men acting alone, and they typically were motivated by personal disputes, rather than politics or ideology.

But, but, but....... Those other guys said....... Simple. Just change the standards and definitions to meet your goals. Or, since "The shooters were usually white men acting alone", #blm could push to make all white males turn in their weapons. STAT!

133 people were killed and 52 were wounded

 

Chicago (Gun Free Zone City) has twice that many in a year.

Wait a couple of weeks til the next Muzzie attack in the US and then lets see what everybody thinks. This stuff is just starting.

[billyboy15]

How many and what % of 133 were killed by muzzies? Now figure the muzzie caused deaths as a % of muzzie pop vs white caused deaths as % of non muzzie pop.

Muslims kill out of all proportion to their numbers.

Was going to comment on this assinine article, but whats the use. With a narcissistic pshychopathic media, it makes no use to do so.

Yeppers.

Then factor in all the millions of weapons here in the US.

And how many are active in mass murders?

Maybe 0.000001%?

Yet Obamadork and other lib-tards want to ban and confiscate all weapons.

This better explains the bs.

The AH author ought to send his article to all the grieving victims families and those who had to pick up all the lifeless and maimed bodies. He can tell them it’s really no big deal and not much of a threat.
