Funny how I search for "gun violence archive unreliable" and I don't come up with anything... Except for the "Second amendment foundation"... Have you thought that maybe it's the people calling them out that are unreliable and that have an agenda that GVA goes against? 🤔

They provide their methodology and a source for all shootings. Just because Jo nobody calls them out doesn't make them unreliable.

Mother Jones only mention of GVA:

With multiple-victim shootings more broadly, sites like Gun Violence Archive and Mass Shooting Tracker offer aggregation of news reports and data that could potentially be useful for further in-depth analysis.

Wow... that's what I call "calling out bullshit"!

No mention at all in the other article.

Good job 👍

Playing with the definition of what is and isn't a mass shooting and only considering people that died in the victims count doesn't help your argument buddy.

Way to miss the point of the article.

Playing with the definition is how you get media numbers to be "we had 600 mass shootings in 3 weeks" headlines. It's disinformation designed for clicks, and you are the type that feeds into it... clearly

Not counting people unless they died diminishes the issue. Someone ending up paralysed from the waist down or ending up in a coma isn't a victim? Sure bud, anything to defend gun owners!

Stay in Canada, why the fuck do you care what we have issues with here...

Your fucking guns get stolen and then make their way to Canada where they're used for criminal activities and murders. We have to deal with having fucking morons for neighbors, no fucking way will I not call them out.

Straw purchases which are already illegal here. You can whine all you want, but the guns aren't the issue.
