They consider anything involving more than two people and a gun being involved as a mass shooting which includes accidental discharges, gang shootings, etc. I wouldn't be surprised they count defensive shootings involving more than two culprits as a mass shooting. It's a deceptive way to inflate the number and use word association to their benefit.

I just gave the requirement for that list nor did you read the site.  So I'll provide it again.  A shooting with 4 or more people shot (dead and/or injured) in one incident is tallied.

That doesn't mean accidental discharges (unless you somehow accidentally shot 4 people) nor does it include defensive shootings (unless you shot 4 people defensively).

But go ahead and try to loop around those too because you don't want to admit we have a serious problem with guns in this country.

2 or 4 doesn't make what I said wrong. Yes, they count literally anything with more than a few people and a gun involved as a mass shooting. It's intended to invoke the exact kind of response as he did. We have a problem with the mentally ill, criminals and real mass shooters. Each issue requires a different solution in weakening or preventing them.
