Loss of life from mass shootings in America is a far more regular occurrence then loss of life from earth quakes in Japan.



It turns out not to be that common, after all: https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents...

When you look at a source like Gun Violence Archive, they report many incidents where there is no loss of life as "mass shootings", and they also report many incidents of criminal conflict as mass shootings. The reality is that if you are not involved in criminal activity, you are vanishingly unlikely to be shot by someone else in the United States.
