let me see now. we do not have a single country up there who has had a single mass shootings in 2019 and yet america has had 250 since first of january 2019. and you say that america does lead the world in mass shootings.

if you are going to go back, you must include the 36 million native americans that were killed by the whites in aerica and you cannot leave out the people killed by americans in iraq, afghanistan, korea, vietnam, japan, cambodia and a few other countries. you also cannot leave out all the dictatorships america has suppported like in central and south america either.

lets face it america is tha cpital of mass shootings and mass murder which ever way you look at it.

lets face it america is tha cpital of mass shootings and mass murder which ever way you look at it.

Bullshit it's had 250 in 2019.

That statistic is rigged from the Gun Violence Archive who categorize injuries as multiple victims and hence a mass shooting. This is an anti gun group.

If that's the case, there would be thousands such incidents worldwide.

First of all, 78% of mass shootings do not use an Assault Rifle.

Secondly, there have only been 17 mass shootings in the USA involving 3 or more killings.

The FBI doesn't have an official definition of a mass shooting, but defines a mass killing as an incident in which three or more people, not including the suspect, are killed. Various groups and watchdog organizations keep their own lists, often using different criteria for what qualifies as a mass shooting.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/deadly-mass-s ... d=63449799

If you want a proper debate, you need to have parameters that define a mass shooting. And defining it as incidents with 1 fatality and injuries or no fatalities but multiple injuries isn't a valid thing because who knows how many such incidents occur worldwide.

Just yesterday, some freak was walking around Sydney just stabbing passers by with a knife.

[Lordo]

you are confusing the word mass shooting with mass killing. the americans describe mass shooting as incidents when 4 or more people or shot or killed. if it was mass killing you can ignore the injured.

perhaps once you understand the difference between shooting and killing we can progress little further. when you understand the difference please let us know.

We need to have a standard here.

You can choose to define mass shooting as 4 victims or 3 victims, but you need to compare like for like.

You stating that there were 250 mass shootings in the USA isn't very fair because then you need to compare that to each country under the same criteria.

It's better to revert to a definition of 3 or 4 dead victims and compare these statistics globally.

And, we can go round and round in circles all you like, but Americans are not going to surrender their guns. That WILL NEVER happen.

Gun control was a massive failure in Australia.

no the criteria is set. it is not 3 or 4 people, it is 4 or more. in otherwods less than 4 does not count as a mass shhoting. if 4 or more people are shot, then it is termed mass shooting. by all means see how many more mass shootings there are in countries like the congo and kenya and afghanistan. the term is simple and even an idiot like shoud understand it.

Well then, you need to compare like for like with the exact same criteria. And again, if those statistics exist, it would indicate that the USA isn't that different to other parts of the world.

The reason why we should stick to the criteria of 3 or 4 dead, is because studies have already been collated under that criteria which places the USA in 62nd place. It is a level playing field where you can actually compare.

the 250 mass shootings is calculated with that criteria. facts are facts. is there another country that has had 250 mass shootings since january 1st this year. you really are quite dense.
