I haven't done a thorough analysis of the data, so I'm just as prone to confirmation bias as jleopold. When I look at the map, I see tons of shootings in rural areas in states with no gun laws. When jleopold looks, he (I assume) apparently sees mostly shootings in New York and San Francisco. Actual data shows that states with more guns have more gun deaths. Surprising, right. He (I assume) wants to not only defend guns which are very clearly a part of mass shootings, but (American) men, who are also very clearly a part of mass shootings. My main point above was how quickly he seized on your suggestion that all the shootings happen in San Francisco because of feminism. I think you were just being agreeable and coming up with possibilities. I don't think that is jleopold's motive, but I could be wrong.
