er.......take that libruls.........
Belgium is on that list. I for the life of me can't think of any recent mass shootings.
"Dailywire".
Also, the USA has the highest number of school shootings.
Ok I'm picking through the sample selection.
This is why Belgium is so high

I might stop here.
It'll be fun when the lefties get in here and try to refute this. We'll see some "creativity".....
The more people there are, the more crazy people there are. It's not the gunz, it's the people.Don't really need much creativity.
Those countries have smaller populations than most states so a fewer number of incidents are going to impact these sorts of averages more.
Just look at Norway, their one incident in 2011 skyrockets them to #1 because they only have 5 million people... so the US would need to have a massive massacres to get that high in the charts since we have 70x the population of Norway.
Only 7.... american pussysThe US also can proudly say we own 7 of the top 18 mass shootings in the last 35 years.

Says the guy who starts and ends every anti-gun post by over-stuffing the relevance of something called "household gun ownership rate".Don't really need much creativity.

Those weren't mass shootings, though.Ok I'm picking through the sample selection.

Ok, the definition they seem to use for Mass Shooting is, "four or more people killed in a public place, and not in the course of committing another crime, and not involving struggles over sovereignty".
Even with that definition though, they are playing fast and loose. For instance by including the violence in Macedonia as, "not involving struggles over sovereignty".
Edit: Actually they seem to just be using the "four or more people shot" definition for Europe, but "Four or more killed" for the US when talking about frequency (although there's 1 shooting listed with less than four fatalities, so maybe they've done something else to reduce the number).
Dailywire = BS most of the time too.The data sample is hard to follow, it's piece meal bits of this and that and at times seems not to be sourced at all.
Lack of clarity in sample selection almost always equals = BS.
I noticed that as well. Coupled with thisDon't really need much creativity.

its hard to take seriously.Ok, the definition they seem to use for Mass Shooting is, "four or more people killed in a public place, and not in the course of committing another crime, and not involving struggles over sovereignty".
