565 mass shootings year to date is not a problem?
I personally have a problem with the way mass shooting is defined. This is a mass shooting, however many of those mass shootings should not be classified as such if you asks me. There are also very few shootings like this one where there seems to be no motive. Even if you counted the ones that do clearly have a motive true mass shootings still very few people compareivly speaking die in such shootings.
Most gun deaths are by a person's own hand.
Then there are gun deaths that are the result of another crime say armed robbery or even gang related crime ( also often targeted could go here or drug deals gone bad ECT. There are so many guns on the black market at this point that even if they were able to get every citizen to hand in their guns ( not going to happen) that number would not likely change a whole lot.
Then there are gun deaths where a person wanted a particular person or persons dead ( not like a group of people like black people for example but like a person or persons that they felt have wronged them ( in these cases often ( particularly if the parties know each other often if they could not access a gun they would go for something else say a knife, poison or even if they knew the person well enough something they had fatal allergies to.
Then there are accidental gun deaths ( many of which by the way can be charged as a crime usually reckless homicide or involuntary manslaughter same crime some states call it reckless homicide other states involuntary manslaughter ( so it is not as if such deaths are completely unpunished ( many of these are caused by people who were not practicing firearm safety in some way ( this would usually be the charge brought if for example a very young child shot and killed someone playing with a gun ( the owner of the gun would get the charge or a person who was shot and killed because someone had the safety off when they should have had it on things like that really oversight that should not have happened, but is not so unreasonable that you should in all cases say the person should not have had a gun ( although sometimes that may have been the case, but such a person is not violent or mentally ill it is more of a reckless mistake with sadly fatal results ( which is why it is usually charged as the lowest form of criminal homicide sentence wise.
Finally, there are gun deaths that are what are known as justified homicides. This would be the case for example if this suspect ends up being killed by police when they find him or a civilian shoots and kills someone in self defense or defense of others. If my sister, brother-in law and I were walking down the street for example and someone tried to mug us and J (my brother-in law )takes out his handgun which he is legally carrying and fatally shoots the mugger that is justified homicide. The same would apply in most states if you broke into someone's house and they shot you.
See how the vast majority of gun deaths are actually not mass shootings and certainly not true mass shootings that I define as not committed during any other crime and either not targeted or targeted to a group as a whole based on for example race or religion. Mass shooting is usually defined as a certain number of people shot having nothing to do with motive or whether gang was involved or if it ONLY happened in the commission of another crime and any shooting that did happen was basically secondary to the "main crime".
