Yeah, but in conversations outside of this particular thread, people conflate crime related shootings, family destructions, other spousal abuse, workplace violence, a gun being mishandled by a guard in a school setting, and a person setting out to commit mass the mass murder of kids/adults/whoever. Those are distinct enough to warrant more detailed attention.
What is the other 75%? I would have thought the % for hateful conspiracy theory driven attacks are higher but I am wrong. >

To get to something useful I think they need to start sorting these shootings into targeted and random.  Showing up at the place you used to work and shooting your former boss and coworkers is not the same as showing up at a grocery store and shooting random strangers.  Sorting only by body count is lumping 2 very different crimes together and is going to muddy any data related to motive. >

JFC thank you! I've been saying things like this for years but I talk to so many people that think any crime with a gun is essentially identical. >

It gets fucking blurred when the guy shows up a decade later to shoot at people he was paranoid at but hasn’t been in contact with in that decade, along with random people.
