That IS different. Yes, if you're going to include mass


shootings, of which we are the world leader by a large margin and it's not even close (and is ALSO a huge problem in and of itself), then yes, simple mass shootings are more frequent in this country than attacks inspired by radical islam. But I assume that the criteria of "shooting incidents where 3 or more are killed" would also include some domestic violence incidents (again, not to say these aren't a problem, but it IS different).

I would put abortion bombers/shooters and the McVeigh bombing in the same category as Islamic Terrorism.... acts of violence driven by political or religious beliefs. Stuff like Sandy Hook fall into the category of people mental health issues with access to guns. The charleston shooting is borderline for me. Clearly the attack was racially motivated... but he also apparently had some serious mental health issues.
