Urban violence researcher here. Gun control advocates’ relentless focus on banning assault weapons has shifted focus away from inner city violence, which is mostly perpetrated with semi automatic handguns. The vast majority of mass shootings are also not committed with assault weapons! I have a free Substack where I analyze homicides & shootings in over 1000 cities. Please check it out. I have maps! https://open.substack.com/pub/1000citiesproject/p/mass-shootings-in-the-us-with-and?r=d65gn&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Do you have a breakdown according to race? In the past I've seen data where if you removed the the black on others shootings it would drop the American shooting homicide rate from 3rd worldwide to 183rd. Thanks for posting your data.
