204 in 204

204 is the number of mass shootings in America in the first 204 days of 2015. So say the proprietors of the Mass Shooting Tracker, a database created by the people in the sub-Reddit community called GunsAreCool.

204 mass shootings! Not individuals shot by accident or even by design, but groups of people shot by one or more perpetrators!

This is unbelievable. Most of these don’t even get national attention. Take a look at any random week in the database and see if you’ve heard of those crimes.

Thank you, Wayne LaPierre and Charlton Heston of the NRA as well as all the leaders of the other gun promoters.

  1. I’m glad someone is finally tracking this crap. I agree, this has to stop. And I heard the definition of “group of people” on NPR the other day – it’s only a mass shooting if there are 4 or more dead, not including the shooter.
