but NOW, since that didn't work out for you, you decide to jump it up to over 565 per year, depending on the definition of "mass shooting".

Do you not agree that 600+ per year vs. 4 is NOT a HUGE DIFFERENCE? And I would appreciate an explanation for your quick change in stats.

And yet, you were promoting the 3.6 per year with the poster of post #6, who said that

Do you not agree that this conversation is about white males, and the mass shootings attributed to them? Because as a white male, I would appreciate some honesty about this. Too much to ask?
