This thing doesn't go past 0 very often
It does.
It was up to 6 at the end of September!

Not based on that list

And that's the issue, some definitions make it seem like it's less of an issue than it truly is...
That was sarcastic. 6 days max without a mass shooting is low. Especialy when the average number is 2 mass shooting every fucking day.
Has it been out of single digits at all this year?
If you count all victims and not just those that got murdered then no otherwise what the government counts as a mass shooting hadn't happened since August, but that's just disingenuous.

That also doesn't include all the people that Criminals On Patrol shot.
