20 Mass Shootings in Two Weeks Since Atlanta Spa Attack
-
I don’t read CNN anymore for this very reason. The logic is so convoluted it only makes sense to someone who is so willing to look at gun violence that they forgot that last week mass shootings were all about white supremacy and also gloss completely over who is killing who— but even more convoluted that people of color kill each other because of white supremacy.
Someone is tripping on sniffing glue.

“At least 20 mass shootings have taken place in the two weeks since the metro Atlanta spa attacks left 8 dead”
We know we have got a lot of mass shootings in this country. Still, seeing them enumerated is somehow more harrowing.

Please tell me what the FBI considers a mass shooting?

The FBI follows the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012 definition for active shooter incidents and mass killings, defined by the law as three or more people killed in public places. See https://www.congress.gov/112/plaws/publ265/PLAW-112publ265.pdf
Mass “shooting,” however, is not defined by law and I am not aware of the FBI offers a definition of its own. The private non-profit research group the Gun Violence Archive draws the line at four - if four or more people are shot in one incident (not necessary killed), it’s “mass shooting.” CNN seems to go with that definition.
From “three killed by gunshots” defined by law for active shooter “mass killing” to “four shot by gun” for “mass shooting,” I think that definition is reasonable enough.

In other words, just about any weekend in Chicago, we have a mass shooting.

Does that make gun violence any less of a problem?

It does when most of the Chicago shootings are done with illegal weapons.
BTW, did you know more people in the U.S. were killed with knives last year, than with rifles? It's obvious this country needs knife control!

Add handguns to the mix, however, and that's not true.
