355th Mass Shooting this year, let's look at the facts.

     The media has reported this and ran with the number without caring about the facts, so we dug into them a little closer.     The number that is being used comes from a site called "Shooting Tracker .com". The group behind the site is an anti-gun, very pro gun control group using Reddit. There is no science behind the numbers but uses public input to gather so called "Incidents". They even went as far as redefining the word Mass Shooting.       For years, the FBI defined "Mass Shooting" as: A violent act where 4 or more "INNOCENTS" where killed by a perpetrator or perpetrators.     This definition wouldn't get the numbers shooting tracker was looking for, so they changed it. their definition is: Any act, with a gun, where 4 or more people (including the perpetrators) are injured or killed. Even this couldn't get them what they wanted, so        They reach (and I mean REACH)....     They have included injuries from car crashes after the shooting.     They have included 28 situations where the gun was a toy or BB gun (they have said they have since removed those 28)     They have included gang and bar fights where someone was arrested with a gun (no shot even fired)     They even included several drug raids where the only injuries were perpetrators being treated for dog bites or drug overdoses from eating evidence.      These seem like "Mass Shootings" right?
