I'm truly sorry for my error on mass murders and they were just shootings. I'm so glad that they were just shootings and not all murders.That surely makes us safer in Malls, Schools, Walmart, bowling allies, bars and churches.People who didn't die I bet can take comfort in this fact with their injuries some for life. The right wing doesn't want to do anything about this. Just this past Tuesday the house passed a bill that allows Veterans with mental disabilities easier access to firearms.With the suicide rate among Veterans what could happen? Again I'm sure the number of Mass shootings will reach 600 by the end of the year. More and more it can be said "there is a mass shooting coming somewhere near you".

There have been more mass shootings than days in 2023, database shows

The United States has experienced 565 mass shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The U.S. has had at least 565 mass shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This averages out to almost two mass shootings a day.

Mass shootings are defined as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or k**led, according to the archive.

One of the most recent shootings, on Oct. 25 in Lewiston, Maine, left at least 18 people dead and 13 more injured, according to Maine Gov. Janet Mills. It is the deadliest shooting of the year and one of the deadliest in recent decades.

Though mass shootings don’t make up the majority of gun violence incidents in America, their impact on communities and victims is evident.


Incidents like the mass shootings in Dallas, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, continue to have cities in mourning and have sparked repeated calls for gun reform.

Recent Stories from ABC News
The Gun Violence Archive tracked roughly 645 mass shootings in 2022 and 690 in 2021.

At this time last year, the country had experienced 559 mass shootings.

A motive for the Monterey Park shooting is not clear, according to authorities. According to law enforcement sources, domestic violence is one of the scenarios they are looking into.

“We all know this family; many of us have served with them in church, and community, and gone to school with these individuals,” Dotson said at a press conference. “And so this community at this time is hurting, they’re feeling loss, they are feeling pain, they have a lot of questions which is natural.”

Huntsville, Alabama
Eleven people were shot in an altercation that left two dead and three in critical condition, according to Huntsville ABC affiliate WAAY.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office said investigators arrested three 16-year-olds and two adults in connection with the shooting.

Where does your information come from?

Are you suggesting that 600 might get your attention but 565 is nothing?

Maybe 600 with the new definition of mass shootings. If you look at the specifics of what is identified as a mass shooting (different media outlets and agencies count differently) you will find that this year there have been 6 mass shootings such as Maine. The overwhelming majority of mass shootings are either gang violence or domestic murder/suicide. Each and every death by gun is a tragedy but to suggest we have had over 600 mass shootings is a dramatic counting tool to bolster anti gun sentiment. Again, I have no problem with legislation like red f**g laws if the case can be heard with haste but in almost all these cases we hear that their were clear signs yet no one acts so the law is useless if those who have identified troubling behavior fail to act. Two of the six mass murders (you know the ones that make it on the national news coverage not the gang violence perpetrated in the inner cities daily) this year were in California which has the strictest gun laws in the country. California keeps passing laws to further restrict law abiding gun owners yet do nothing to prevent crime and homicides. Their laws are constantly under challenge and are often overturned by the most liberal court of appeals in the country (9th circuit).

Where does your information come from?

Are you suggesting that 600 might get your attention but 565 is nothing?

How amazing it is whenever there is a mass shooting the hypocritical Left like you come out in droves against murders by firearms but never blame the shooter. Knives are used in more murders than assault looking firearms but you Left Wingers tend to blame everything but the shooter in a firearm related murder. That is when there is a mass shooting. But let b****s murder other b****s in Detroit, Chicago or other Left Wing run cities, by the thousands, not one of you gives a s**t.

Why is that?

With the murders in Maine many red f**gs were seen but nobody did anything about them. The shooter might just as well have actually told everyone he was going to murder innocent people but nobody paid any attention.

Perhaps your alligator tears of anger against the Founding Fathers should be toward a non working Congress who should/could enact a law stating HIPPA mental health medical records are allowed to be released to law enforcement with DOJ/NCIC firearm checks.

This isn’t about the 2nd Amendment but more likely against someone owning a firearm who should not.
