If that is the case, then you are correct, I did not read that- if that is true. That is not what he said to me however, so I would like a way to verify that whomever is saying that on Snopes is being truthful. Dr Lott used the FBI definition for a mass shooting for his research and he said for ALL of it. That is where the difference lies, everyone is using a different definition, however when you compile data, you use one standard, not many, which he did- his own government's.
No one is arguing about the school shooting problem, my point is mass shootings happen period. I already said our gubmint has failed protecting our children, shit that's by design.
If Dr Lott used one standard, then his data is truthful, whether you like it or not.
