It’s likely nobody anywhere has done more research on, or knows more about, mass shootings than researcher John Lott.

Lott, as always, right on target...
I’ve noticed something trending on social media now trying to make the claim that guns kill more people than terrorists.
“Since 1975 terrorists born in the 7 nations in Trump’s travel ban killed zero people in America. Over the past 4 decades guns have claimed 1.34 million American lives - about as many as in all wars in U.S. history”
These are bogus stats. Even if you mathematically add that up it’s impossible to believe that many people die daily.
