Original Note:
Tweet is misleading. Several sources cite a mass shooting as more than 2 or 3 people in a short period, not including the shooter. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mass-shooting Others define it as a minimum of four. https://www.nmvvrc.org/learn/about-mass-violence/ The predominant weapon in these shootings are handguns not assault weapons. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/
