Also remember, things are newsworthy because they’re novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

Depends on what you call a mass shooting. When we think “mass shooting”, we’re thinking of the Mother Jones sort in this pic.

There are about 50,000 gun deaths in the US every year, same as vehicular deaths. About half the gun deaths are suicides. About none of the vehicle deaths are.
I feel like you’re trying too hard to defend US gun culture here.
People absolutely gloss over how dangerous cars are. I’d love a big push towards trains in the coming decades.
Anything I said untrue or biased?
Not every place is a valid platform for gun defense.
