      Kinda scary that only 5 states didn’t have one, especially since I think only one of them has over a million people?

      Few/no shootings in New England and the Dakotas? Inexplicable, really. Must be the climate.

    3. What definition is being used? Nearly every state has their own definition, and some states intentionally make theirs either extremely ambiguous or extremely broad so as to be able to churn out those gut-wrenching headlines.

      No correlation between mass shootings and state gun laws. Interesting.

      Also, I’m curious what this would look like without gang violence.

      You can really see the gamg activity from here. I wonder if any source has ever actually separated those from random acts of violence targeting the general public.

    6. You can’t take these types of things seriously as the definition for “mass shooting” is ambiguous. Realistically (as in what the common person thinks of) a mass shooting happens very rarely each year in this country, usually 1-5 from memory.

      I mean a few years ago I remember a guy killing his own family and then himself. Was labeled a mass shooting.

      Most of us think of a mass shooting as someone(s) who intentionally tries to kill as many people as possible. Not family annihilators and not gang shootouts. Same goes for school shootings.

      School here by me had a school shooting a few years ago. It was just a kid who had been threatened with his life so he started taking a pistol to school in his car. Well the aggressor came at him in the parking lot of school so he shot the guy. Labeled a school shooting. That’s just way to loose of a definition imo. Sure a shot was fired at school but general when we use the term it means someone came to school to intentionally kill as many people as possible.

      Kentucky and Iowa stand out regionally as notably better than other nearby states. Maybe we should figure out what they are doing right?

      You mean to tell me that AK, the state named after an assault rifle, has never seen a mass shooting?

      Florida, West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky not being higher surprise me. Otherwise checks out

      Of the Mississippi ones, at least 14 of the 15 were “gang” related or retribution. Clicking through the links, and doing some searching for arrests afterward since most are just linking the initial news break of it, none of the shooters were white.

      Fun fact: You’re more likely to die from a lightning strike than a mass shooting in the US.

      A lot people commenting it’s „gang shootings“. It’s not even that complicated. It’s just „beef“ between two individuals or rival friend groups.

      „Interpersonal conflict“ is far more common as a motivator for shootings than gangs

    13. Isn’t per 1 million a bad way to measure this? It makes Delaware an extreme outlier. Maybe per 10k-50k instead ?

    14. aotus_trivirgatus on

      Can you possibly get five years of data instead of just one? That would reduce the noise in this data set.

    15. Kentucky is looking all around like “We’re still cool though, right?”
