I am skeptical. The WSJ article[0] covering Lankford's claims has a graphic that shows none of those countries with even two mass shootings since 2000, including the Philippines. The Mother Jones[1] article says that only four countries broke double digits, and again, none of the countries I listed made the list. Or Mexico, which is widely reported to be rife with gang violence, including mass murders.
It appears that Lankford's paper[2] has not yet been published. When it is, and if it is available for free, we can look at the details of his claims.
