#3 Wait. 48 "incidents" last year? Not 4-5 a day like the lamestream media and the everytown for Napoleon Bloomberg moms screech?

Why, you could knock me over with a feather

#4 In a nation of perhaps 167,000,000 taxpaying adult citizens, who own something in the order of 393,000,000 guns, 48 in a year is, while tragic to the individuals involved, a minuscule number.

#5 "Mass shootings are widely classified as incidents in which a shooter kills at least four or more victims."

The Lurid Crime is how the FBI counts.

Gang shootings: 2-3 dead, 12 wounded don't count.
Murder/suicides: father kills wife and 3 kids, then self, doesn't count.
Home invasions, killing occupant, doesn't count.
Separate incidents: 44 shot over the weekend in Chicago, 11 dead, don't count.
Neighborhood: guy shoots neighbor for too much garbage can noise, doesn't count.

Softly filtered 'no news' for the masses.
FBI needs to get in print to maintain the image, like CENTCOM.

#6 Most "mass shooter" events are when blacks shoot other blacks.
The media only cares when they can frame whites for it and call us nazis or white supremacists. Like the Las Vegas shooter, who fired into a crowd of likely Trump supporters and the FBI could find no motive.

#7 "roads, neighborhoods, parks and outdoor venues – are the places where victims are most likely to be targeted." So ... stay off the road, don't live in a neighborhood, and stay out of crowds. Be afraid, everywhere but your own bed. Oh ... and don't look under there.

#8 My first thought was the commonality was they occur in ‘gun free zones’.

#10 Did I miss all the gang shootings in those counts?

That must be on a different spreadsheet.

From the report:
the FBI defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area

So, an active shooter is someone who is actively shooting at people. Passive shooting would be where you just sit on the porch and take potshots at passers-by.

Excluded events are:
• Self-defense
• Gang violence
• Drug-related violence
• Residential or domestic disputes
• Barricade/hostage situations
• Shootings where the shooter’s actions were the result of another criminal act
• Crossfire* as a byproduct of another ongoing criminal act

In a nutshell, pretty much any time someone gets shot for some particular reason.
