Artificially inflating the numbers does nothing to solve society's problems. The DOJ defines a mass shooting as 4 or more victims.

Yes, the definition does keep changing. And yes, I hate guns. I think the biggest mistake in our countries history was the 2nd amendment. But, I am also realistic and know that the horses have left the barn, we are not going to collect and do away with guns. So, I prefer to try for gun regulations that can help - like universal background checks.
I personally don't think much of the argument that we have a right to protect ourselves from the government. Bullocks. That is a relatively new interpretation of the 2nd and was created to rile up the base.
