    Mass shootings are so common in America that people are now saying a shooting with four injuries or deaths is too normal to count 😂 😭

      No, I’m saying you need to differentiate crimes where someone went out intending to shoot a bunch of people, from crimes where a bunch of people ended up being shot through bad circumstances.

      It’s the difference between 4 people dying in a car accident vs. someone intentionally driving over 4 people. It’s a different class of crime.

          Absolutely, people get accidentally shot all the time.

          If you have two angry groups of people shooting at each other I doubt they’re doing much in the way of good target discipline.
