Just because they don't report shootings under ten kills anymore does not mean they don't happen. But mass shootings, i.e. incidents where four or more people are killed) are still daily occurances in the US.

That definition is so ridiculous. Shoot 100 without killing a single one? That wasn't a mass shooting.

I would say that's a mass shooting, just not a mass killing

Yeah, but for media and the US government it isn't 🤷

It also doesn't happen. Because guns are so good at killing so easily. They should all be banned.

Now that would be newsworthy for being the most inept American gun owner.

Just because they don’t report shootings under ten kills anymore does not mean they don’t happen.

I never said or implied otherwise?
