claims there have been 402 “mass shootings” in the U.S. thus far in 2023, suggesting there were seven such incidents that occurred over the weekend alone.the outlet was relying on the misleading GVA data to claim, at that time, over 330 “mass shootings” for the year in the U.S. Breitbart News noted GVA is a pro-gun-control database which abandoned the long-standing definition of a “mass shooting” as four or more deaths in a single incident by a single gunman and replaced it with “a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident.”
GVA’s new definition allows drive-by shootings, targeted gang attacks, and other non-mass shootings to be counted as “mass shootings,” thereby inflating the number of reported incidents.
