We should ban shit posters

Someone struck a nerve.

Funny, I didn't flinch when he mentioned banning shit poasters. Knew it wasn't aimed at me. Must suck to be you.

You assume a lot.

Someone struck a nerve.

A much better explanation:
nytimes.com/2015/12/04/opinion/how-many-mass-shootings-are-there-really.html?_r=0
"For at least the past decade, the F.B.I. regarded a mass shooting as a single attack in which four or more victims were killed. (In 2013, a mandate from President Obama for further study of the problem lowered that threshold to three victims killed.)"
And more surprising (or not):
"The statistics now being highlighted in the news come primarily from shootingtracker.com, a website built by members of a Reddit forum supporting gun control called GunsAreCool. That site aggregates news stories about shooting incidents — of any kind — in which four or more people are reported to have been either injured or killed.

It’s not clear why the Redditors use this much broader criteria. The founder of the “shooting tracker” project, who currently goes by the handle “Billy Speed,” told me it was his choice: “Three years ago I decided, all by myself, to change the United States’ definition of mass shooting.” It’s also not clear how many of those stories — many of them from local outlets, including scant detail — are accurate."
