You're obviously, clearly forgetting to divide by population to get PER CAPITA (per person) numbers.
We're 330 million people, even France is small by comparison at 65m.
We're only #11 in MSD's per person.
You're more likely to die in a mass shooting in Belgium, for example.

OOOOH, yes very good point.
If we squint at the data real hard, and do this one neat trick where we look only at years where European countries had zero mass shootings, and consider only those, THEN we can get Europe < US.
LOL #fail
Stick to....something you're better at.

Yes, I presented a "steel-man" argument--with ALL the data, and even a wrong analysis included!
If it comforts you to grasp at straws, and decide Europe's safer because some years some countries have no mass shootings (despite higher mean)....
Go for it!

Oh?
Oh I think I like this new technique of sussing Facts That I Like And Favor My Biases.
Let's take the median of mass shootings in America back to the year....I dunno, 1200?
VOILA! America has zero median mass shootings! Hooray!
Yes. It sounds that dumb.

Corollary:
Never argue stats with Lefties, especially their wordcels like @SoMarioTho
It quickly bores the audience because their mistakes are so obvious and dull.

No, ma'am, it was exactly the same as the dumbass "alternate" analysis you quoted from the article.
You found the turd floating in the punchbowl I gave you, picked it up, and held it out proudly like you'd found a Mars Bar.
Now you're desperate to move the goalposts.
LOL

In the spirit of fair debate, and finding common ground, I'll give you Norway.
But in exchange, you have to let me remove all black shooters from American statistics.
Deal?
