What is Reddit's opinion of Mass Murder in the United States: A History?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

>There is no universally accepted definition of a mass shooting, and different organizations use different criteria

I don't know about you, but the fact that the Washington Post uses figures gathered from a peer-reviewed source written by a P.H.D in Criminal Justice makes the study far more credible in my eyes than a Tracker that lists injuries sustained from BB guns as "mass shootings".

I think I know how this happened. I used to work in online marketing for Bing advertising. Bing and Google both use similar methods to match searches with what someone is advertising. In this case the product may have been this : https://www.amazon.com/Mass-Murder-United-States-History/dp/0786431504 when they picked the keywords the probably picked they ones like "mass murder" or "mass shootings" then on top Amazon has this ad set up for dynamic text meaning that it would interject the matching keyword into the ad.

>I don't know what that link is supposed to be communicating. It's a one page summary of other studies and recommendations elsewhere. Obviously I'm not saying all the recommendations from all the scientists in that study are 'cherry picked,' but they're also not engaged in your argument.

Are we talking this table I posted?

If so, I honestly don't get your arguments in the slightest. It's just ranked data of the twentieth century. It's from this very comprehensive book Grant Duwe did on mass murders.

According to Amazon's listing Dr. Grant Duwe, “Mass Murder in the United States: A History.” only goes through 1999, not 2015. It's nice that you're miss representing the data here. Especially when that author went on NPR in 2013 saying mass murders were dropping.

Don't forget about Right wing violence. Also do a little tiny bit of research.* Most mass shootings are committed by pale people.

Grant Duwe, author of <em>Mass Murder in the United States: A History</em>, considered a leading scholarly book on the subject. "There have been at least 184 mass public shootings in the U.S. since 1900, including the Las Vegas attack," Duwe said. "Among these mass public shooters, non-Hispanic whites make up 63 percent, which is close to what we see for the U.S. population in general."

That's an old comment from 2017. The states have gotten worse since then.
