I think it tends to confuse two similar events. I get the desire to track killings vs. shootings but when I first saw only 17 mass killings in 2025, my initial reaction was "bullshit". Because my mind immediately went to the more common metric of mass shooting.

Guns. Have them.

The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.

Socialism is the gospel of envy.
