In fact, America has been here 273 times in 2017 alone, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which compiles deaths and injuries from shooting incidents and defines a mass shooting as any incident where four or more people are wounded or killed.

Ok. 273 mass shootings in 2017 alone. Got it.

Today, America faces approximately one mass shooting per day on average.

One mass shooting per day. Wow!

But this is a white man's problem. According to an analysis by Mother Jones, out of 62 cases between 1982 and 2012 (a time period that would not include the actions of Dylann Roof or Stephen Paddock, among others), 44 of the killers were white men

44 white men out of 62 mass shootings over the past 35 years.

62 mass shootings? Got it.

But, wait, didn't you just say there's been 273 mass shootings this year alone? Um, I'm pretty sure you did! One mass shooting per day even!

So, Naan, who's really doing all the shooting?

Per capita way more black men shooting people than white men.

What about the “rage” of black men? Chicago, for instance?

I think that I located the flaw in the writer's logic.

"According to their tally, there have also been 11,698 deaths as a result of gun violence so far this year. Between 2001 and 2014, 440,095 deaths by firearms occurred on US soil, while deaths by terrorism during those years numbered 3,412."

Remember, over 60% of these numbers here are suicides. Nothing to do with "mass killings".

“But this is a white man’s problem...”

Fascists always want to justify disarming white people.

Good Luck with THAT, Losers!

When a muzzie goes Jihad on a bunch of people, we’re told NOT to blame the race or the religion or even the sex of the person in a female suicide bombings.

If a white guy does it, EVERY White Christian Male is at fault.

Got it! *SPIT*

CNN is afraid the white liberal elite killer will be exposed as a hater who targeted Trump Supporters because he has the same hate toward traditional Americans that CNN has...

In short - the white liberal elite killer was ‘brother under the skin’ of every CNN hater...

Gee, where’s cnn when it’s a MUSLIM of any stripe?

What are the stats when Islamists use knives. Or hatchets. Or vehicles. Or AIRPLANES?

Are white males proportionatelt the fathers of babies aborted?

Cnn’s #FakeConcern for human life is not convincing

Progressives like to throw out numbers, but they don’t seem to understand that people can do math with numbers.

Suddenly the numbers don’t seem to fit the narrative.

Typical gun-grabber statistical mish-mash. Mass shootings are a small part of gun deaths. So they throw in the larger body count which is largely suicides and black-on-black violence.

It is so interesting, from a fiction-becomes-reality-like-1984-perspective, how when a major killer is always “white” it is all about their “race” yet when the major killer is “black” it is not about their race, to the major media at least.

Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines of Central Asia and South Asia.

Now that we've got that out of the way ...

I think he/she is playing fast and loose with the statistics.

"Mass shootings" statistically defined and "mass shootings" as understood by the media or the public are different things.

To get the numbers you include gang shootings, crime, terrorist acts, domestic violence, neighborhood quarrels.

When you want to come to a conclusion, you can exclude what you want and blame it all on one group, like White men.

A couple examples:

From compilation at: https://www.massshootingtracker.org/dat

Care to hazard a guess about who’s most all of it? Hmm?

How about the rage of negroes (Chicago negroes in particular) against their own neighbors that causes them to shoot one another at a hectic pace?

One mass shooting per day. Wow!

Since four or more victims constitutes a mass shooting in libspeak, they divide the total number of victims of all multiple shootings by 4 (1,000 victims = 250 mass shootings) and publish it as truth. Pants on fire time.
