    i think usually the mass shootings definition excludes a lot of these, and usually means a more indiscriminate mass shooting… like a kid shooting random kids at a school….
    maybe the looser definition is more useful and we should have another term for the indiscriminate mass shootings….
    actually charlie kirk was shot while making a “point” about that….
    “oh well do you include gang violence?”.

    as if gang violence isn’t also an issue with gun control….

        “talking points” is a dumb way to end conversations… not everyone who considers different angles is an alt-right shill….
        but i do think we need a different term for people who just snap and shoot random people vs people who shoot back at people
