Now please go back and ask them to provide a bit more information, viz:
how they determined “mass shootings”;
number of injuries/ fatalities;
by geography, if possible (rural/ urban);
by time (to show any trend).
Many thanks!

I’m less worried about “mass shootings” and more worried about, you know, shootings. In general. I don’t walk out the door and think “but what if I’m shot, and then there’s a national news story about it and my killer becomes infamous?“.
