minus-squareTreczoks@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up31arrow-down2·10 months agoJust 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.
minus-squareKecessa@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down4·10 months agoThat definition is so ridiculous. Shoot 100 without killing a single one? That wasn’t a mass shooting.
minus-squarefrenchdresses@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 months agoI would say that’s a mass shooting, just not a mass killing
minus-squareKecessa@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·10 months agoYeah, but for media and the US government it isn’t 🤷
minus-squaremnoram@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·10 months agoIt also doesn’t happen. Because guns are so good at killing so easily. They should all be banned.
