    Its probably inaccurate because it doesnt include the Ohio shooting and the graph cannot be updated constantly as our number only moves higher. ****in gun nuts

    No idea. Most these countries wouldn't keep such a stat. But that's obvious bullshit. Here is what they used for the US:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2019

    Including such events as this: 'A man attempted to use a gun to demand methadone, then killed one and wounded two before being killed by police in a shootout.'

    So their definition for the US was any event where more than one person was shot.

    Brazil (which is on his list) had 43K gun homicides in 2017. The US had 14k. We have twice as many people as Brazil. So unless you some how believe that every single brazil gun homicide is done in one on one private situation then clearly this is bullshit.

    You should of known this was bullshit from reading it. Makes no sense.

    U think there has been three cartel shootouts in mexico and one in brazil?

    Why are you even talking about normal gun homicides when the statistic was clearly about MASS shootings, not just single gun homicides?

    Uh, yes they do. But you apparently know more than the rest of us? Feel free to find the international mass shootings that happened but somehow don't appear on the list, I'll patiently wait.

    So you really do believe there has been 3 cartel shootouts in mexico this year?

    Fine this will take me all of one google search to resolve

    One two three four

    I probably found the only four though, cause everyone knows cartel violence is no big deal in mexico......

    Maybe the issue is. . . . .what they know they won't be killed
    I mean . . . a guy was walking in Walmart with a bb gun he got in WalMart . . . and intended to buy
    and was killed instantly
    This guy was killing people and taken in no muss no fuss

    As DL Said .. . . Cops are more scared of unarmed black people they *think* may have gun . . . . than white people that actually killed people
    Weird

    Questioning the accuracy of the chart is diversionary
    We have a problem .. . ...
    Arguing about the extent of the problem is not helping

    Lying about the problem doesn't help. That tweet is nowhere near accurate.

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think what he was trying to say is the tweet includes data for US from what most people consider as non-mass shootings.

    Brazil has 1 listed but this is not counted:
    A group of heavily-armed men — riding on a motorcycle and in three cars — went on a shooting rampage at a bar in Brazil, killing at least 11 people on Sunday - May 2019.

    So yes, the accuracy of the data should be questioned.

    Also a better statistic would be mass shootings per population than country.

    Okay, then the Brazil data is not accurate if you include these events.

    Still not sure how that is helping you and @tallanvor though when it doesn't anyhow address the rest of the list.

    And the population numbers won't help you either, as even adding up every European country would still leave you with only one mass shooting.

    I think it's extremely misguided to act like the issue here is the validity of the list, even when cherry picking every possible gripe you guys are able to come up with, it will still leave the US with at least several dozen legit mass shootings and only one in Europe.

    Let's not act like there isn't a real issue that is unique to the US and that desperately needs to be solved, the numbers are unparalleled no matter how you spin it.

    Not only do you believe Mexican cartels killing each other is a myth, but now you believe that in Europe in 2019 there has been only one time where two people were shot at the same event? seriously? wtf are u doing man?

    Are the drug wars in a Spain a myth too?

    I found the one Europe mass shooting . There are no others. Yung promises.

    Ugh um done with this garbage.

    Mexico vows to take legal action against U.S. after deadly El Paso shooting

    At least three of the 20 dead in Saturday's attack, described by Mexico's foreign minister as an "act of barbarism," are Mexican nationals.

    Those are crazy stats. We need to fix it. Is there a list of these shootings available anywhere? I am curious of the demographics

    Now it should be. We have idiots arguing over how many people have been gunned down in Europe. Give us all a fu*king break, please. Isn't the horror of this enough for you?

    (not you, personally - the idiots)

    Any outsider can see what this is.

    Maybe we are treating and considering our fellow people less than dirt?

    Uh, reading comprehension zero points. I even admitted they happen and that the stat is wrong in that regard.

    Yea that is included in the list. So my question again: Seeing how you are so blatant about there being more mass shootings in Europe, please post them here. It shouldn't be that difficult, seeing how you act like there's an abundance of them.
