> The United States has had more mass shootings than any other country.
If you'll check the references for that statement, they're all news articles based on a single study.
A study that the link above already discussed. A study that "excluded gang-related shootings, drive-by shootings, hostage-taking incidents, robberies and acts of genocide or terrorism."[1]
In other words, it's a custom-designed, cherry-picked statistic designed to make the US look worse than it is.

And I've never understood who decides whether a mass killing is an "act of terrorism" or not.
Instead of focusing on mass shootings, we should be looking at violent crime in general and the causes for it. This would lead us toward more general solutions (e.g. improve schooling for inner city students instead of just taking away their guns), which would solve a far bigger problem than some media headlines, and those solutions would be far easier to implement than attacking one of the core parts of American culture.
