Would be nice to know how many of these were considered gang related. I suspect it makes this metric far less incendiary

Would that really matter? If I'm on the pro gun control side I don't think it matters to me whether a mass shooting was gang related or not, just that it occurred and would be less likely with proper gun control. 

Oh it definitely matters. If a substantial percentage of these are gang related then I don't have anything to fear as someone who isn't in a gang. Plus, why do I care if a bunch of animals want to have a localized war with each other?

If, on the other hand, most of these are like Vegas then I should be scared shitless of attending any events with more than 100 people.

This is basic risk assessment. I didn't even make any commentary about gun control.
