Original Note:
"Mass shooting" is a purposely ambiguous term with a different definition based on the source. Poster makes a factual claim/does not provide any evidence. No reliable source shows 5k mass shootings in 10 years. Even heavily criticized GVA only reports ~ 4k "mass shootings" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/04/the-squishy-definition-of-mass-shooting-complicates-media-coverage/
