[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1951935, member: 45230"] Citing the [URL='http://shootingtracker.com/wiki/Mass_Shootings_in_2015']Mass Shooting Tracker[/URL], several publications reported Wednesday that there have been at least 351 shootings in the first 334 days of 2015. In other words, mass shootings are a more-than-once-daily occurrence in the United States. That’s partly because the crowd-sourced tracker, unlike other databases, uses a relatively broad definition of “mass shooting”: an incident where four or more people (including the perpetrator) are injured by gunfire. Traditionally, scholars and law enforcement officers have defined a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people (not including the gunman) are killed by gunfire.

But render it meaningless. Which is what the anti-gun groups attempted to do. [/QUOTE]
