    LOL you didn't even READ your own article in 2022 the number you listed was people WOUNDED

    those killed were way LESS than that

    You were talking about DEATHS in post 197. In reality you CONFUSED deaths with injuries

    Oops

    Oh one more thing-the number killed in mass shootings in 2022-762 included the mass shooter if the shooter died during the incident. There were about 695 mass shootings according to the WIKI article. so we could have less than 700 actual victims because in many mass shooting cases, the shooter either is killed or commits suicide. 695 mass shootings/762 killed = 1.1 or so deaths per mass shooting.

    It's the worst record in the world per capita.

    And the injured are unimportant....

    well if the injured are "unimportant' why did you try to use injured to erroneously puff up the numbers killed.

    why not just admit that you used all those injured and claimed those were all fatalities?

    Then they would have to admit they were wrong. They used these numbers before, and tried to claim there were only 148 mass shootings in 40 ish years using a different link. They do not argue in good faith.

    nothing is more amusing than watching someone cite an article and the very article they cite prove their claims were wrong. I think this often happens because their argument is only supporting a facade that they really aren't motivated by.
