Yup its a accurate statistic look it.
Something like 1.5 million gun related deaths since 1968 vs 1.2 million in wars since 1776.

You guys effectively have a 9/11 taking place every day and are doing nothing about it, thats why the rest of the world looks at your relationships with guns with shock.
No there hasnt been a mass shooting nearly every day this year. That's ridiculous. And now please post the stats on how many crimes are stopped and outright prevented due to armed citizens.
So there have been about 1500 incidents during which a firearm was used for defensive use.
Then again there were also just as many accidental shootings so I guess they might cancel each other out.

Ohhh and yes there has been 1 mass shooting a day this year.
Where did you get that number, 1500? And how did you quantity how much crime was deterred if it never happened?
There was not a mass shooting every day this year.

That means that almost every day this year on average there has been a mass shooting.

An "average" is a statistic, not a fact.

275 mass shootings we are on day 278 so yeah there has been about 1 mass shooting for each day this year.
Its quite telling when people try to dismiss points like this, its like you guys know that there is a huge problem but just want to desperately deny the problem exists because it puts your constitutionally insured penis enlargement at risk.

I am not going to sit about and argue semantics with you.
275 mass shootings this year, and we are at day 278.
Almost one shooting a day.
FACT.
Deny it all you want but it remains a fact.
