      This is still a really good video about the @NRA. Fun Fact! There have been 104 mass shootings since this video came out just 4 months ago. NRA: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) https://youtu.be/_ECYMvjU52E  via @YouTube

      It varies wildly (100-300%), but even if it only varied by 1 count of victims, the results would still be skewed significantly, which leads to very unwieldy extrapolation, or a shaky-at-best foundation for policy. At the core I think is the inability to delineate psychopathy -

      This is what I used "GVA uses a purely statistical threshold to define mass shooting based ONLY on the numeric value of 4 or more shot or killed" http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/methodology

          Yeah, this is why when we define it this way, with a threshold of 4 shot (not necessarily killed, which is a huge critical distinction), the number of incidents balloons enormously, on account of gang violence where drive-by's with indiscriminate bullet spray are common.

          Other organizations have defined mass shootings to require 3 or more not merely shot, but shot and killed. I believe the FBI had defined them this way for a while, so their data showed much lower numbers of incidents. MotherJones used either that or similar definition

          Thanks for that RD! A few questions to think about .why is 4 the number that turns an incident into a mass shooting. .does gang violence, drug wars, domestic problems, and school shootings all the same problem with the same solution? Thats solution not reduction
