There certainly is a massive data base to mine of 2nd amendment arguments to cut and paste from.....let's say the NRA has a huge following here.... 18 mass shootings in a year..that's not a shrunken stat

The Atlantic and the NRA are enemies. There are mostly gang related shootings.

Now don't be silly and tell me healthline is part of some NRA database.

So how likely is it to die by a mass shooting or terrorist attack?

According to research by The Washington Post, 869 people have been killed in mass shootings in the United States since August 1, 1966.

This includes shootings in which four or more people were killed by one or two shooters. It excludes shootings related to gang violence, as well as those that started as other crimes or involved only the shooter’s family.

Those shootings are a small fraction of the overall number of gun-related deaths. In 2015, of the 25,000 gun-related injuries in the United Stated, 12,000 resulted in death.

Of those, 39 were from mass shootings.

The National Safety Council puts the lifetime risk of being killed in the United States by any assault with a firearm at 1 in 358.

The lifetime risk of dying in a mass shooting is around 1 in 110,154 — about the same chance of dying from a dog attack or legal execution.

BAN DOGS!
