    bruh 4 people injured or killed in a single incident absolutely is a mass shooting. I’m trying to get my head around how you are downplaying this

      The standards in America are fucking crazy. “Yeah bro my cousin was buying some weed, next thing you know 4 people shot dead, but that shouldn’t count” lmao.

        lol the fact it’s just a casual story about a drug shoot out with 4 dead with a direct connection to OP and OP doesn’t think that’s weird is confusing as fuck to me

          Right? I literally have never heard of anyone getting shot even if I count friends of friends of friends x10. And I spent half my adult life in connections with very dodgy circles.

          Their “just another normal shooting” story would make national news for weeks if it happened here.

        Yeah, It’s so wild. Like, they are so delusional.

        Let’s push back the classification of mass shooting to lower the number. Ok, so we need one shooter and at least 10 dead. If people are only injured it shouldn’t count. And the victim can’t be criminal or have a criminal background. If drug or alcohol, not a mass shooting.

      Gang shootings make up the vast majority of “mass shootings”

      These gang members are the very definition of criminal, they know their actions are highly illegal. Making more guns illegal will not stop them

        Huh? Are you saying that the white school/mall shooters weren’t aware that killing people is illegal?

            this is the most idiotic reply I’ve seen on lemmy

            Idk, I kind of like this one:
