Yes, and that's why tens of thousands of Americans are killed by them every year, including in daily mass shootings.

Keep in mind that gang violence counts as mass shootings so if you're not in a gang or in gang area the risk goes off a cliff. When excluding mass killings that happen as part of Robbery / Gang Violence it drops down to 10 incidents in 2023 [3] which is pretty good compared to Europe's 8 [2].
