I'm not sure if Jix is trying to make the point that the occurrence of other, "regular" shootings somehow lessens the impact of mass shootings, and therefore dulls the argument for the further regulation of firearms, or if they're in agreement that while mass shootings are terrible, there are countless other shootings that go largely unnoticed due to the spotlight being on mass shootings, and that all shootings should be included in the conversation when discussing regulation.

We need a national registry for firearms. Registration occurring annually to keep the database up-to-date. Comprehensive background checks. Mandatory classes on proper handling of firearms, as well as a demonstration of the impact and aftermath of gun violence, in order to obtain a license to own firearms. License renewals at least as often as driving licenses are renewed. Inspections on firearms to ensure they're in proper working order, and properly stored at home. Mandatory trigger locks or other such deterrents on each firearm purchased. Mandatory gun safes for those who insist on stockpiling weapons. Red flag laws. Robust and generous buyback programs. Mandatory insurance for each firearm owned.

Sure, let people own all the guns they want. But make it so they're much less prone to abusing the privilege due to the investment and requirements in owning them.

Ah, keep the poor's unarmed.

Interested to hear how you propose regulating gun ownership among wealthy citizens.

Ah, keep the poor's unarmed.

the fact a website like this exists at all

https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting

is extremely indicative of a massive fundamental problem

That website is shit. Just scrolling down and they list shootings as mass shootings when there were only two people involved. Gang shootings are not the same as some random psycho gunning down random people.
