[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3257978, member: 32"] So I was trying to find actual stats on mass shootings and how many there have been in last 10 years. Wikipedia only seems to show over 10 fatalities. I don't think that is a good measure. Mother Jones which is a far left site actually has a very detailed database going back to 1982 it looks like it shows incidents with 3 or more fatalities. [URL='https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b9o6uDO18sLxBqPwl_Gh9bnhW-ev_dABH83M5Vb5L8o/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0']Google doc of info [/URL] [URL='https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/']Original article[/URL] What I found interesting is the frequency. Here is the count since 2010 there is a clear jump in the last few years. I wont speculate as to why. 2010 - 1 2011- 3 2012 - 7 2013 - 5 2014 - 4 2015 - 7 2016 - 6 2017 - 11 2018 - 12 2019 - 7 Another interesting note was its not all just white guys and its not far off from the portion of population each race represents other than Asian committing way less than their [URL='http://livepopulationof.com/us-population-by-race/']percentage of current population in USA[/URL]. [B]Here is race breakdown[/B] Native American 2 = .031 % National Average = 1.3% Other 4 = .063 % National Average = Asian 4 = .063 % National Average = 5.8% Not listed 5 =.079 % National Average = Latino 8 = 12.6 % National Average = 18% Black 11 = 17.4% National Average = 13% White 30 = 47.6% National Average = 60% One thing I am unclear on is why the Other and Not listed on the Mother Jones database. I know for example the Florida Night Club shooter who was middle eastern shows Other. Anyway just trying to get some perspective on the whole mass shooting stats since this is going to be a hot topic for a while due to recent events. [/QUOTE]
