It’s slightly confusing but is explained in the article that all mass shooting are mass killings but not all mass killings are shootings, which of course makes sense.
Nope, there are 38 mass shootings which are a record for mass shootings. Additionally the guardian mentions mass stabbings, usually a pro-gun argument.
The WP article linked in the Guardian article mentions 38 mass shootings and has no reference to stabbings. In the infographic for every incident it mentions a shooter specifically, not a perpetrator or attacker.
Because it’s linked as a source in the article when the shootings are mentioned.
But indeed it is clear even from just the Guardian article that the 37th and 38th mass shootings of this year broke the record of 36 mass shootings. All this before any stabbing or overall mass killing is mentioned.
None of the articles are misleading, your comments are, I guess purposely.
Correct. The whole purpose of my comments were to mislead you. Specifically. I hope you have a good rest of your day even though you suffered from my comments.

Another attack occurred on Sunday in New York City, when a 38-year-old man stabbed four of his relatives – including two children – as well as another woman and two police officers before they shot him. That was the country’s 41st mass killing of 2023
They are counting the stabbing in NY as a mass shooting?
The article uses the term “mass killing”, so no.
Right, but. In the article they state
“A series of murders over the weekend have propelled the United States to a grisly new record: the most recorded mass shootings in a year”
Including the stabbing which they then refer to as a mass killing. I’m not arguing the point of the article. Its just misleading.
The stabbing is separate and unrelated.
We’ve had more than 38 in my county alone. But that’s why they conflate mass shooting and mass killing.

Your comment is misleading, not the article.

Why would I be talking about the washington post article? Im talking about the stabbing mentioned in the article of this thread.

Nowhere did I insinuate you were trying to mislead me specifically. That’s also misleading.
Have a good night.
