372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker, which catalogues such incidents. A mass shooting is defined as a single shooting incident which kills or injures four

School shootings: There were 64 school shootings in 2015, according to a dedicated campaign group set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut in 2012. Those figures include occasions when a gun was fired but no-one was hurt.
All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide]. Those figures are likely to rise by several hundred, once incidents in the final.
60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in the UK.

And according to AAA, over the next 100 days and average of 10 traffic deaths per day will be caused by teenage drivers.

And they're probably texting when they cause the deaths.

The report on the news actually mentioned goofing around with friends in the car. Just saying.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

"Goofing Around" might include showing each other pics and texts on their phones. A coupla teenagers ran into me one day not long ago doing just that.

Just sayin'.

It's never going to stop. It's just the price we pay for gun ownership. Legal guns and illegal guns. It doesn't matter. If someone wants to cause death and create mayhem; guns allow them to do it on a scale that a hammer or knife would not. I just try to keep it all in perspective. These shootings are not common, they extremely rare.

If you look at the stats, they are pretty common. I saw them recently and was really surprised how many there have been.
