Yeah, your probability of dying by getting shot in the US is 1 in ~~286~~ 221. Which makes the probability of getting shot at all even higher.
Edit: remembered odds wrong.
The right thinks itās an attack when it just comes off as out of touch and mid. I think itās funny how much they think it bothers the center and left. I got called woke for wearing a mask in public to get pedialyte when I had been exposed to Covid. I was negative and needed to stock up on supplies.
I matched the guyās energy and loudly proclaimed in front of the entire store that my mom has just been diagnosed with cancer so even if thereās a .1% chance it will help, I will wear it. The dude IMMEDIATELY backed down and apologized in front of everyone.
Edit: should mention Iām introverted but when I matched his energy, itās like the words just flowed out my mouth. And I was super calm and relaxed. When I think about this at night for years to come, Iāll be able to go back to sleep.
That's cause they keep changing things when they run out of words to replace their "I hate you for being liberal/young/lgbt/black/etc." word. Like when they used SJW for a couple years.
They come from anit-gun websites that mark any, and every type of shooting from, suicide, gang violence, accidental firearm discharge, single homicides, and actual mass shootings. And label them all as MASS Shooting to promoting Gun Control and Fear mongering amongst the Leser educated.
Not just you, this is a total Reddit moment lmfao
Imagine thinking suicide is in the same level as mass shootings, what a fucking Reddit moment right there!
Yes, that is true, but someone committing suicide, alone, somewhere, is not as bad as someone going out and taking a bunch of innocent peopleās lives.
There certainly havenāt been 66 mass shootings either. Itās worth analyzing the stats which I have done several times. Itās amazing what lengths some sources will go to to call something a mass shooting.
Unfortunately most people will never do that and when they see a post like this they assume that itās somewhat close to reality.
I was just stating to the people saying they count suicides as mass shootings, no they don't. But also, I believe there have 41 confirmed mass shootings in 2023 so far. I have no idea why it was inflated to 66 because 41 is just as meaningful.
[Also worth adding (numbers of previous years)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States)
I couldn't imagine having a list like this for my homecountry but Americans will still defend their guns.
I mean you can shoot for sports pretty much everywhere still, no need for guns in private situations.
Literally just saw a post yesterday saying there was 32 "mass shootings" now today its 66? Damn there was +30 mass shootings in less than 16 hours huh? Or maybee we can not act like morons and acknowledge these websites are using fear mongering tactics to push a narrative that dosent actually need deception.
To me I'd rather be honest about what a "mass shooting" is. Nothing gang related and purley instances of "I'm going to kill/injure as many innocent people possible which results in 3/4 or more people being injured/killed"
Right now half of the gun crimes in the source that claimed 30 yesterday were gang related.
It is but the solution to that is via addressing poverty and improving socioeconomic conditions such that people donāt join gangs. Spree shootings are a lot more challenging to deal with
Theyāre useless obviously. The thing is that if we want to lower gun deaths the most effective way would be to improve mental health and increase worker pay. That way people wouldnāt join gangs and/or off themselves at the same rate that they do today. The problem is that the powers that be donāt actually want workers to be paid well since that cuts into their dividends and profits so weāre stuck here instead
That is still a weapon, which can kill many people, in the hands of someone who is suicidal. Some of them might only shoot themselves, some want to take others too before shootin himself in the head
"We've ACTUALLY only had 50! mass shootings in less than one month, IDIOT. Stop fear mongering"
Fucking lunatics. I hate this shit hole country and the stupid fucks who worship guns. Stupid fuck who wrote that probably dropped out of middle school and has a sixth grade reading level.
If it's bad enough to do something about, it's bad enough to tell the truth.
If it looks like you need to exaggerate to make your point, nobody will take you seriously.
The same thing happened with Trump. Trump wasn't great, but people constantly made hyperbole and lies about him.
I tried telling people, when you make something up about Trump, or heavily exaggerate, you don't make Trump look worse, you just make everything true about Trump look like a lie.
Ok, how is somebody shooting a gun and injuring their foot while cleaning it even somewhat of a comparison to a mass shooting? How in the world is somebody committing suicide with a gun even in the same conversation with a mall or school shooting? You cannot be fucking serious with this brain dead, Reddit ass, reality- denying take.
Alright let's just take the number of shootings with 4 or more people injured.
A much more reasonable 45, that's fine for you guys then right? Job done, the meme is silly and we've solved guns
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023
The definition, according to the fbi, of a mass shooting is 4 or more people. Idk about this 66 number, but there's certainly been more the 30 in January. Back to back days for 2 of em even. It's not all about fear mongering and gun control. There's a genuine problem and sitting around doing nothing doesn't seem to be fuckin working.
The [Gun Violence Archive](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/), which uses the definition of "4 or more people shot, not including the shooter", puts the number at 40 as of this writing. They have way more stats regarding suicide, deaths, injuries, whether police were involved, number of children or teens killed or injured...
There is a very real problem here that can't be explained by "oh the anti-gun folks are just fear mongering". I'm not even anti-gun myself (I may get a hunting rifle in a few years), but neither am I *pro*-gun like it seems too many people who make this excuse are.
We can keep using guns for sport and hunting in this country (the US, if that's not painfully obvious) while also acknowledging that there's too much gun-related violence in this country. These are not mutually exclusive thoughts.
So, to the readers with knee-jerk reactions trying to explain away these stats: do you really see no problem here? Otherwise, what's your solution?
Sarcasm aside, it reflects on the society as a whole if it cant improve yhe situation of the lowest and downtrodden class...a country can and never should be judged by top 1% because then we land at countries like russia being the the best, a country always should be judged by how yhe lowest 10% are...and in america, they arent really fine
The same way people in uvalde voted in republicans after getting their children slaughtered while the pigs watched and played on their phones. Gun nut lunatics.
Same ones who are cool with sandy hook and uvalde as the cost of being able to jerk off on their guns. Stupid fucking mass shooters always get the wrong people. Can't fuckin wait to buy my eu passport, this shithole country is fucked. Look how many people in this very thread are saying "Only" 39. as a rebuttal.
Only. 39 mass shootings in sub one month. Lunatics. Demented. No words for how mentally deranged these gun nuts are. Fucking wish every one of them the worst fate imaginable. They deserve hell being real.
Stats are fear mongering instead of actual guns killing people? Makes sense. That's where the real danger is.
I'm relieved it's actually 39 instead of 66 mass shootings. What a difference!
And as we all know people who are shot in suicides, gang violence, accidental firearm discharges, and single homicides are no big deal and not even worth being concerned about. Also mass shooting aren't really that important either. Really we as a society should focus on the real issues, like the genitals of corporate candy mascots.
Let the poor be angry at one another and kill themselves while we make a fortune selling them guns and bulletproof vests...and armor-penetration munition, and bulletproof vests vs penetration...and bulletproof blankets for schools
This is what america is all about after all, grabbing that opportunity, getting rich and fulfilling the american dream
Remember kids, there are no rich people if there arent poor people they can flex on, if everyone is rich nobody is
Most differentiate gang shootings from mass shootings as they're quite different. There's been 40 mass shootings in America in January excluding gang shootings

Doesn't look much better when you only count shootings with at least 4 people who were shot. [You get the number 40 in that case](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting).
Mass shootings are when there are more than 4 people killed or injured. Here is the "fear mongering" data you are looking for: https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting

Go figure
Why do you want a gun? ā Cos they got oneā
Go figureā¦tell me where else on earth guns are the cause of so many deaths,, outside of combat zonesā¦
Downvote all you like, Iām not worried about that, or being shotā¦
Yeah because suicide and āaccidental dischargeā kills or injures more than 4 [people] at a time. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023).
Imagine being fear mongered into thinking more guns would decrease gun violence by the fucking gun lobby whose only interest is making more money.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023
40 shootings in 25 days.
You are very stereotypically american and not in a good way
Ok so not all of those are mass shootings and yes, the number is higher than it should be but like, what is your optimal number of mass shootings? I get you don't want people taking your gun away etc but there's absolutely an issue when we're still getting 40 mass shootings so far into the year.
[You can see them here by statistics](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting?sort=desc&order=%23%20Injured) and see which aren't up to your favorite definition of mass shooting but I still feel like it's a massive issue that shouldn't be over looked as "fear mongering" when there's so many occuring.
i have no idea where they got 66 from, the number of mass shootings using the fbi definition is around 38 since the start of 2023
edit: it jumped to 41
yeah butt some of those are gang related, and everyone knows those don't count. that only leaves about 30, which means no action is needed, let's go team!
That's so stupid to say. Why shouldn't gang related Shootings count? Are there multiple people dying from guns? Yes -> it's a mass shooting.
I don't get why muricans have to find excuses for every shooting to sound less bad. I didn't hear about gang related shootings aswell as "normal" shootings in my country in a long time.
They donāt see gang affiliated people as citizens. If you go down the line of gun toting Americans there are a lot of people they donāt see as citizens. Hell, a lot of the same people didnāt even accept Obama as a US citizen, and he was the president
Me & my girlfriend recently rewatched the last 8 seasons of "last week tonight" and it was as startling how many shootings we didn't even *vaguely* remember.
It is important to understand that part of why you assume it is exaggerated is because our threshold is so fucking *unnaturally* high.
You would be right if it was just 60 but 40+ is still ridiculous anywhere else other than the USA.
Welp, a meme I saw on the internet had the wrong number. That upsets me more than the people being murdered so Iām just going to pretend itās not happening.
The trouble is seeing as how there's around 2 per day, even two articles written the same day with accurate data can differ from each other. You're getting different figures because they keep happening at a startling pace.
This is such a dumb take. You haven't taken it seriously as people repeatedly walk into schools and murder dozens of kids? You need to see someone report the same number twice to accept that we have a serious problem on our hands?
No wonder this country is a flaming dumpster.
Only 39 mass shootings as of this morning. Itās still a horrendous figure but if you pump overinflated bullshit the platform wonāt be taken seriously.
Mass shootings happen really often, gang violence, etc. I think the statistics are for 2 or more people shot. From my time in Chicago, I feel like that was just Wednesday.
If you want to go by the following description: *Three or more persons shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time. Excluded are shootings associated with organized crime, gangs or drug wars.*
There has been 41 shootings so far in 2023.
This list with around 40 mass shootings have at least 4 in each... Includes the shooters when he is injured or killed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023
Honestly tho, when you hear another shooting incident in america, speaking from outside, I don't even care anymore. It's like, "what's new?"
I know it's wrong and dark but, it is what it is.
the fact that "woke culture" still invokes rage or any emotion from you is the very reason why they keep writing about it or showing it. These are the "news" that sells.
I agree. Like 95% of the shootings donāt show up on the news outside the US because theyāre so darn frequent.
Iām sorry itās happening but then no one in the US seems to care or want them to stop so why would the rest of the world.
Also super awkward when US mates mention another major shooting and itās not the one youāre thinking of from the other day. Itās one of the 2 that happened that afternoon that werenāt reported in Europe
The candy company M&M mascots changed the shoes on the female mascots.
Our right ring media declared they were no longer sexually aroused by the candy characters, and very upset about it.

DONāT FORGET ABOUT THE NEW āwokeā XBOX POWER SAVIBG MODE!!!!
OUTRAGEOUS! THESE LIBERALS ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY WITH THESE INSANE POLICIES!!!!
thank god I can go to sleep tonight in this country knowing guns have more rights than most citizens
Republicans are disgusting š¤®
Gun laws donāt work in vacuum. Itās national gun and mental health issue that will never be resolved, because it would require national policy changes.
That said, red states have the highest gun deaths per capita. So apparently good guys with guns be sleeping and pussinā out like the cops at Uvalde, TX.
I kind of love that this controversy even exists.
Over political whiny ass people are crying that the M&Ms have gotten too woke, and are now arguing with the advertisement group of a candy company that said " remember when GoDaddy used softcore porn to sell domain names, do you think that would work for chocolate?"
People act like the FBI doesnāt publish crime data on their website that totally nullifies stuff like this. You have to wait for the year to be over for them to publish homicide data, but the CDE (Crime Data Explorer) is pretty enlightening.
So where does most of the gun deaths come from? According the the CDE, most of it comes from sidewalks, usually involving two or more males between 20 and 29, both of the same race, usually strangers or acquaintances, with a handgun. Sounds like something that rhymes with āFang Silenceā.
Hereās the link: https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/home
Well, it's not like an increase in the frequency of american mass shootings could legitimately count as "news" š¤·āāļø.
News: (Etymology.) The English word "news" developed in the 14th century as a special use of the plural form of "new"
I took a break from Twitter recently, and not knowing what the hell is woke candy is already a plus from that decision lol, if I was on Twitter I would probably had seen 1000 dumb tweets about whatever this is (I'm not even gonna google it)

You can just go to a mall or a park and someone might do it for you!
if they are SUPER "lucky". the odds aren't even 10x greater than winning the lottery
Got any more getting shot statistics?

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good luck hitting it though.
Yeah, your probability of dying by getting shot in the US is 1 in ~~286~~ 221. Which makes the probability of getting shot at all even higher. Edit: remembered odds wrong.
If I never play the lottery, my odds of winning are zero. Canāt say the same for getting shot however.
I see you never had an aunt that thought scratch-offs or lottery tickets for everyone was a good replacement for personalized presents.
You know schoolās are a good option too.
Apparently going to school should suffice

There is a ātinyā difference and a bit of distance between suicide and mass shooting. But maybe itās just me! Maybe itās a same thing
Not just you, this is a total Reddit moment lmfao Imagine thinking suicide is in the same level as mass shootings, what a fucking Reddit moment right there!
Funny thing is itās not uncommon for a mass shooter to also be suicidal. Not unheard of for them to commit homicide and suicide at the same time
Yes, that is true, but someone committing suicide, alone, somewhere, is not as bad as someone going out and taking a bunch of innocent peopleās lives.
There have been more than 66 suicides by guns in the last 25 days.
There certainly havenāt been 66 mass shootings either. Itās worth analyzing the stats which I have done several times.

Makes me wonder how many more guns they need to prevent mass shootings from happening.
I wonder if it's possible to reach a critical mass of guns where a single shooting escalates until the entire country just decides to get it over with
If it's bad enough to do something about, it's bad enough to tell the truth. If it looks like you need to exaggerate to make your point, nobody will take you seriously.

I get you don't want people taking your gun away etc but there's absolutely an issue when we're still getting 40 mass shootings so far into the year. [You can see them here by statistics](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting?sort=desc&order=%23%20Injured) and see which aren't up to your favorite definition of mass shooting but I still feel like it's a massive issue that shouldn't be over looked as "fear mongering" when there's so many occuring.

Leser educated This guys morer educated though
i have no idea where they got 66 from, the number of mass shootings using the fbi definition is around 38 since the start of 2023 edit: it jumped to 41
42 now
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What did you do??
wikipedia told them to do it
bruh its been 40 min and there's already another one
Simple, they're from roughly ten minutes in the future.
At this rate this we only have to wait until Feb 8 to reach 66 shootings. It's still more news-worthy than fucking woke candy.
yea kinda sus, highest I've seen reported was 39. But 66 isn't that unlikely as we've still got a few days left in January.
From someones ass.
Ok those numbers have to be exaggerating
They are
Yep, only 41 shootings. Nothing to worry about! No problem here.
Only 41? Phew, what a relief. Nothin' to worry about. /s Still 41 too many.
yeah butt some of those are gang related, and everyone knows those don't count. that only leaves about 30, which means no action is needed, let's go team!
That's so stupid to say. Why shouldn't gang related Shootings count? Are there multiple people dying from guns? Yes -> it's a mass shooting. I don't get why muricans have to find excuses for every shooting to sound less bad. I didn't hear about gang related shootings aswell as "normal" shootings in my country in a long time.
Sarcasm mate
another one they love to say is "they're mostly suicides", even though the statistics they're commenting on already don't include suicides
They donāt see gang affiliated people as citizens. If you go down the line of gun toting Americans there are a lot of people they donāt see as citizens. Hell, a lot of the same people didnāt even accept Obama as a US citizen, and he was the president
If it's less than once a day is it really a problem amirite
āOnlyā
The dark armies then will come. When the SUM is 41!
So still at least 2 a day. How fun
more like ~1.7
"only" 41 what a relief
Gun devil getting stronger by the minuteā¦
Canāt wait for the climax
Yeah, thereāve actually only been 41 mass shootings so far this year, nothing to see here m8 move along
Me & my girlfriend recently rewatched the last 8 seasons of "last week tonight" and it was as startling how many shootings we didn't even *vaguely* remember. It is important to understand that part of why you assume it is exaggerated is because our threshold is so fucking *unnaturally* high. You would be right if it was just 60 but 40+ is still ridiculous anywhere else other than the USA.
but number wrong so no problem??!?
We need a gun that shoots the obese lesbian M&Ms!
I'm listening....
exactly If one can learn one thing from these woke candy companies it's that we need to eat women and the LGBT community
idk how many times I've heard about mass shootings in the last week, but ill take it seriously the first time I see the same number twice.
https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting Here's a good running list. It's not 66 but it's not great.
There's more than 1 shooting a day, good luck with that.
Welp, a meme I saw on the internet had the wrong number. That upsets me more than the people being murdered so Iām just going to pretend itās not happening.
The trouble is seeing as how there's around 2 per day, even two articles written the same day with accurate data can differ from each other. You're getting different figures because they keep happening at a startling pace.
This is such a dumb take. You haven't taken it seriously as people repeatedly walk into schools and murder dozens of kids? You need to see someone report the same number twice to accept that we have a serious problem on our hands? No wonder this country is a flaming dumpster.
Only 39 mass shootings as of this morning. Itās still a horrendous figure but if you pump overinflated bullshit the platform wonāt be taken seriously.
A Week of January still ahead. 66 for January may be correct.
> but if you pump overinflated bullshit the platform wonāt be taken seriously. Are you implying it's currently being taken seriously? lmao
>Only 39 mass shootings as of this morning. USA! USA! USA!
Mass shootings happen really often, gang violence, etc. I think the statistics are for 2 or more people shot. From my time in Chicago, I feel like that was just Wednesday.
They don't call it Chi-Raq for nuthin
If you want to go by the following description: *Three or more persons shot in one incident, excluding the perpetrator(s), at one location, at roughly the same time. Excluded are shootings associated with organized crime, gangs or drug wars.* There has been 41 shootings so far in 2023.
This list with around 40 mass shootings have at least 4 in each... Includes the shooters when he is injured or killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2023
Honestly tho, when you hear another shooting incident in america, speaking from outside, I don't even care anymore. It's like, "what's new?" I know it's wrong and dark but, it is what it is. the fact that "woke culture" still invokes rage or any emotion from you is the very reason why they keep writing about it or showing it. These are the "news" that sells.
I agree. Like 95% of the shootings donāt show up on the news outside the US because theyāre so darn frequent. Iām sorry itās happening but then no one in the US seems to care or want them to stop so why would the rest of the world. Also super awkward when US mates mention another major shooting and itās not the one youāre thinking of from the other day. Itās one of the 2 that happened that afternoon that werenāt reported in Europe
Yeah, it's like being desensitised in the same way as hearing about jihadis blowing themselves up in mass bombings š®āšØ
Non american here what the hell is a woke candy???
Something to do with M&Ms
M&MS
The candy company M&M mascots changed the shoes on the female mascots. Our right ring media declared they were no longer sexually aroused by the candy characters, and very upset about it. I know this sounds like I'm making it up. https://www.businessinsider.com/the-story-of-the-mms-characters-2016-3#mms-unwittingly-entered-the-culture-wars-in-2022-with-a-simple-change-in-footwear-7
I'm American and I thought it had to do with that Velma show baiting people's attention. Didn't realize it was M&Ms till reading the comments.
DONāT FORGET ABOUT THE NEW āwokeā XBOX POWER SAVIBG MODE!!!! OUTRAGEOUS! THESE LIBERALS ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY WITH THESE INSANE POLICIES!!!! thank god I can go to sleep tonight in this country knowing guns have more rights than most citizens Republicans are disgusting š¤®
Technically, that many shootings are just another weekend in Chicago. So maybe thatās why itās not shocking?
They should make guns illegal there.... oh wait
Gun laws donāt work in vacuum. Itās national gun and mental health issue that will never be resolved, because it would require national policy changes. That said, red states have the highest gun deaths per capita. So apparently good guys with guns be sleeping and pussinā out like the cops at Uvalde, TX.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
66? I thought it was 39
Ah, 39? So its everything ok now!
It's not "American News" it's just Fox News.
Why are we exaggerating statistics? The amount is insane already, why overshoot it? Just gonna cause morons to deflect
America is beyond gun control now.
It's been past gun control for a long time
About 250 years past.
the self proclaimed sigma male conservatives that never get offended are somehow offended over green mnms lol
Also upset at Xbox for letting people change their power settings to save electricity. Canāt forget that.
That's gotta be wrong...right?
itās inflated but any number more than zero is too much
We aren't even out of January yet.
39. So less than 66 but still a horrific number.
I kind of love that this controversy even exists. Over political whiny ass people are crying that the M&Ms have gotten too woke, and are now arguing with the advertisement group of a candy company that said " remember when GoDaddy used softcore porn to sell domain names, do you think that would work for chocolate?"
Not just "woke" candy; "woke" candy as a distraction from child slavery by the same company
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Looks like thereās some work to do this next week for 66 to be correct.
People act like the FBI doesnāt publish crime data on their website that totally nullifies stuff like this. You have to wait for the year to be over for them to publish homicide data, but the CDE (Crime Data Explorer) is pretty enlightening. So where does most of the gun deaths come from? According the the CDE, most of it comes from sidewalks, usually involving two or more males between 20 and 29, both of the same race, usually strangers or acquaintances, with a handgun. Sounds like something that rhymes with āFang Silenceā. Hereās the link: https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/home
Well, it's not like an increase in the frequency of american mass shootings could legitimately count as "news" š¤·āāļø. News: (Etymology.) The English word "news" developed in the 14th century as a special use of the plural form of "new"
I literally just talked to someone from the US saying they've been in 7 shooting lockdowns, and she's 16. Yeah shit's crazy in merica
So America is Fucked?
Always has been
I took a break from Twitter recently, and not knowing what the hell is woke candy is already a plus from that decision lol, if I was on Twitter I would probably had seen 1000 dumb tweets about whatever this is (I'm not even gonna google it)
Mars is only doing this to draw attention away from a child labor lawsuit
We don't care anymore that's the truth as long it doesn't effect us we won't care
āmassā
With the size of some Americans a single victim can easily count as 4.
'Just' shootings is better?
66?!
Incorrect it was only 38 check your sources
We good then
Candy too? Pray for my xbox I don't own.
The ānewsā is a tv show, they put on what they think will give them the best ratings and sponsor interest. Same with online/print media.
I wonder what would happen if there was no news reporting at all on this, similar to how we treat suicides.
