Very thorough work by John Lott's organization.

Lots of links and other graphs showing the actual statistics that the gun-grabbing media/politicians will twist to fit their own agenda.

This is definitely worth bookmarking.

For what it's worth there were 6,578 single person murders in 2019 (the last year we have data on). In the main article of this post, it says that 54 people were murdered in mass murder (defined as 4 or more people murdered in an event).

By my math, less than 1% of all murder victims are victims of mass murder. The other 99% of murder victims aren't getting any attention.

Uvalde did not have to happen. If the grownups and authorities were doing their damn jobs, they could have stopped this crazy psycho POS from killing anybody. It took an off-duty Border Patrolman whose wife and child were in the building to take charge and to put the psychotic rabid dog out of his misery.

Does this include the definitions which vary? One is any discharge of a weapon in which the round in the nearby neighborhood goes into the school property, such as a party or revenge shooting at a house or lawn by urban types with a stray shot going somewhere. The statistic would make these look like a wimpy mentally nerd shooting everyone who shunned him in class.

Still hard to decipher if that stuff about running away and up to 3 people shot at a “residence” answers what I said about shots from other residential places that go across the school lawn.

Maybe definition should be limited to someone with intent to kill people with a firearm at a school and discharges a weapon at the school.
