I agree, him leaving out countries that didn’t have mass shootings is problematic however this is besides the point I was trying to make. Over this period of time multiple countries had a higher rate of mass shootings per capita full stop. This puts a dent in your point that we have more school shootings than other countries, granted these are mass shootings not school shootings however I haven’t seen any number on those given that they are even rarer than the already rare mass shootings.

I don’t think his math is backwards, however I agree it was misleading. Their one shooting over 6 years makes them seem like a dangerous country due to the number killed and their small population when compared to countries like the US.

I also disagree with their definition being an issue. Unless you have a better one I’ll stick to the CRS definition which is remarkably similar to theirs.

“The Congressional Research Service (CRS) defines mass shootings as events where more than four people are killed with a firearm “within one event, and in one or more locations in close proximity.” Congress uses the term “mass killings” and describes these events as “three or more killings in a single incident.” The FBI uses the term “Active Shooter,” which it defines as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.” Non-governmental organizations, including Mother Jones, USA Today, and the Stanford Mass Shootings in America (MSA) data project, use various combinations of these definitions. The decision to include gang- or drug-related incidents, the accidental discharge of a firearm, or family- and intimate partner- related shootings further complicates the definition of a mass shooting. Mother Jones, the FBI, CRS, the MSA, and Congress do not include these incidents in their definitions, while USA Today does.” Source

“Where does someone’s right to life end and your “right” to not have to do a background check begin” -you a couple comments previously. Unless I’m missing some context here it seems like you didn’t know we have background checks already in place. Which is why I brought them up in the first place, even though I’m fine with the 4473 as it is however I oppose UBCs since those essentially create a registry which I believe is unconstitutional.
