I would hate for you to be a victim of definitional retreat if you are able to create a well-reasoned argument and back it up with reliable and objective data.

    Not the guy you've been talking to but I looked into the Statista data because that surprised me. Turns out Mother Jones used a very specific set of criteria (possibly to spur page views like my own?) that isn't supported by the AP, nor the FBI or criminologists. https://reason.com/2012/12/17/are-mass-shootings-becoming-more-common/ https://reason.com/2012/12/17/are-mass-shootings-becoming-mo...
