Mass shootings
Hi, I can't reply on the now-shutdown discussion on the ITN talk page so I came here. If you look at the graphic here, it suggests that in 2021 there were >600 mass shootings in the US. Fairly regular, wouldn't you agree? Ericoides (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fewer than 2 per day, and it doesn't indicate when they were in the year, so you can't draw conclusions on regularity. If you look at this graph of daily deaths to COVID in the US you can see (aside from what appear to be weekly spikes, which I suspect are due to some reporting the whole week at once rather than tally each individual day) that the numbers can pretty consistently be described as "about what yesterday was" --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 23:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks fairly regular to me, but maybe we have different ideas about what "regular"/"fairly" mean. Ericoides (talk) 10:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * In that list you can easily see the sporadic nature, such as how there were 4 on February 6, then none until February 11. As well as the wildly varying number of casualties on any given day. --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 15:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As I say, it looks regular to me. Perhaps it's because we don't have many mass shootings in my neck of the woods... Ericoides (talk) 16:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
