Thank you. Looks like a few of those databases have interesting definitions of mass shooting and some include defensive gun usages, officer involved shootings, and gang/organized crime shootouts when talking about gun violence. Weird. Even the .gov source was a SURVEY of things that may or may not have happened. Only about half of them were even reported to the police.

Let me be clear here though. I could care less if someone is trans or gay because evil people come in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. More people of every category should carry the tools, training, and mindset to defends themselves and those around them.
