When are you counting from, and what are you calling a mass shooting?
I am talking about incidents where 4 or more people were murdered, not in the course of another crime being committed and not in a conflict over sovereignty. - basically people just shot for the hell of it.
In that regard, there are 7 European countries leading the US in both body count and frequency of attacks since 2009. These include:
Norway, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia, Finland, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
And from 1993 to 2013 gun related homicides in the US fell from 7 deaths per 100,000 people to 3.6. Not sure what the date for 2014 and 2015 show, but special interest groups like bloomberg and mother jones like to include suicides and other non violent crime statistics to prop up their agenda.
