Why the US is No. 1 in mass shootings

[LuvNewcastle]

3. Are you saying that Americans are committing

mass shootings because America has too many people? I don't really get what you're saying, because these are per capita numbers, so they are adjusted to take into account population differences.

Anyway, I don't find the numbers as interesting as the reasons for committing the crimes. Since Americans are far more likely to commit mass shootings to achieve fame, what does that say about our society? Remember that this is a sociological study, not a law enforcement study, so answering questions about our society is what the statistics are supposed to foster.

Personally, I would rather live in America than a country like Mexico, with their sky-high murder rate. I'd rather worry about 1 killer instead of thousands.
