    To be fair, gun violence in the US has been declining year-over-year for over half a decade now.

    The number of “mass shootings” continues to rise because the definition of “mass shooting” has been steadily expanded such that it now includes self-defense shootings, gang-on-gang shootings, officer-involved shootings, shootings that happen even though no crime has occurred, and many other events that don’t typically come to mind when one hears the term “mass shooting”.

      In the end people are still able to buy guns and they’re using them to shoot at each other. So ban guns. Regular people don’t need to have killing machines, we’re better without them.
