Further, since we have reduced the number of what constitutes a mass attack, down to single digits, ........how many people could someone with a machete or a bow and arrow take out before they are stopped?

After all, remember how many people Ted Bundy took out at the Chi Omega House at Florida SU and he just had a log, nylon stocking, a mist bottle, and his teeth.
Two. The other three young women he attacked survived.

The left desperately wants us to not have guns. Why, so they can protect and control the sheep. And the stupid people like the idea of gun buy backs (illegal as government never owned them), Confiscation Red Flag Laws (no due process), and general confiscation.
Criminals and foreign countrys are frothing at the mouth for this.
Look at history, and whenever a countrys Leaders want to take guns away, what happens after that. Socialism, killings of people for he better of the country.
Russia, Germany, Cambodia, China, North Korea, Venezuela (heading that way) etc etc.
Keep repeating stupidity.

No, five.

By our current definitions of a mass shooting, the person doesn't have to die to be included in the count.

Hence for that mass attack, there were five. Further, while alive is alive, losing one's dancing career from that attack might make one question what makes a survivor.

Oh the left wants people to live. In the old days of my childhood the men in our town belonged to a Gun Club and were deer hunters and rabbits for food.

There are over 300 million loose guns out there and blame it on the left.

Just look at the mass attacks in the sub continent regions.
Trevor Noah on the Daily Show addresses potential causes. I agree with how he framed his final comment.

If you say so.

Personally, I never believed that news should be main stream entertainment, so I never watched this daily show except to be polite company.

In any event, I am not on cable nor will I accept anything which might be an edited copy of it........

.......and, by the way, who in the devil is Trevor Noah?

If that really was the case, Michigan would have been a blood bath this past week. There were an estimated 500,000 people roaming around in public with rifles and shotguns. Not a thing happened....and that was just one state.

Sure are a lot of gun lovers around here. Good grief. What was going on in MI with 500,000 people roaming around with guns ? I missed that one.

Overwhelmingly, able bodied and able minded people should be working instead of being on welfare.
When people don't get the basics, they can get more violent. Drugs and immorality play a big part in society.

Or any of the other times a policeman has been killed in the line of duty?
Because I'm in the mountains hunting deer? Why didn't you? I have a life beyond internet. I have to drive to drive to the top of the mt to get any connection. That work for you?
