I believe Mother Jones (no bastion of 2A support) reports perhaps 62 mass murders (4+ killed/event, per FBI) over the last thirty years, with an increase over the last few years. I believe the total killed in these events over 30 yrs is several hundred.

Tragic, yet eminently countable.

Haven't read entire article, was there mention of how the '91 restaurant murders were a huge landmark, spurring passage of concealed-carry across the nation?
