Those are rookie numbers, kiddo. See original post.

Whether or not they're 'rookie numbers', the principle remains. Please do not engage in any sort of atrocity denialism.

Yeah, I should have communicated more clearly. Sorry. I just mean that these aren't in the same category. Scale, motivations, and government involvement are all totally different. It is a matter of principle. The two are not comparable. Even a little.

Certainly, I don't mean to imply mass shootings are the same or on the same scale as government run murder programs. But mass shootings are still mass murders, and the far right are responsible for the lion's share.
