Why do the majority of people not include gang shootings if this is an accepted definition of mass shooting?

The reality is gang shootings are why there are 200+ mass shootings a year in the US.

"Crime violence research group Gun Violence Archive, whose research is used by all major American media outlets, defines mass shooting as “FOUR or more shot and/or killed in a single event [incident], at the same general time and location, not including the shooter,” differentiating between mass shooting and mass murder [killing] and not counting shooters as victims."

I'm really looking forward to a certain individuals reply to this. Let the BS begin and as always attempt to make himself sound more educated than he really is.

@Ryannnnnn Are you defending that racist piece of shit? The asshole is doing nothing but spouting rhetoric favored by white supremacists.

@NativeOregonian rhetoric favoured by white supremacists?. You know it's not just other races in gangs.. eg. white supremacists.

Criticising and looking at how mass shootings are defined is a good question as it can technically be the same thing. You're looking at it through a political lens.

@NativeOregonian I would say it's easier to call a mass shooting related to gangs as a gang shooting as it implies the intent, but if more than a few people die it's technically a mass shooting with criminal context.

@NativeOregonian what makes you think I'm a racist? I asked a simple question about a definition.
