Try this.
Number of weapons used in mass shootings divided by number of legal weapons in the US. Now this is where it gets tricky, you multiply this number by 100 to get the percentage. A little test for you, try to solve it all by yourself before using Google.
Maybe that number looks a bit sm ...[text shortened]... 't forget to multiply by 100 we wouldn't want you exaggerating your findings by a factor of 100.
you really like making numbers dance for you. because a number (mass shootings) is small compared to another big number, it is acceptable? the number of mass shootings should be 0, you blithering idiot. no amount of mass shootings is acceptable. this is something that many countries have realized and enacted strict gun control to achieve it. some have even managed.
and when sadly a mass shooting occurs, despite one doing everything possible to prevent it, you can say "oops". not before like the americans do. every gun nut in america says that mass shootings are inevitable.
and to address your idiocy with those statistics, the number of mass shootings is "low" if you compare the number of gun owners with the number of mass shootings. of course it's bloody low. it's also low when compared with the number of stars in the galaxy or any other big number that has nothing to do with mass shootings.
when you compare it 0 (acceptable number of mass shootings) or with the number of mass shootings in other civilized countries (australia for example) it is very high.
also, 82% of the mass shooters, ie people who were predisposed to commit mass murders, were people who obtained guns legally, which means their gun control laws do jack to prevent mass shootings. how stupid can you be to not get that? don't answer that, it's rhetorical, i know you are plenty stupid.
