Mass shootings are arguably one of the worst manifestations of gun
violence. As discussed in this book, media outlets, gun control and
rights advocates, statute, law enforcement agencies, and
researchers often adopt different definitions of "mass killing,"
"mass murder," and "mass shooting," contributing to a welter of
claims about the prevalence and deadliness of mass shootings. For
the purposes of this book, "mass shooting" is defined as a multiple
homicide incident in which four or more victims are murdered with
firearms, within one event, and in one or more locations in close
proximity. Chapter One of this book analyses mass shootings for a
15-year period (1999-2013). Chapter Two examines the United States
use of two national data collection systems to track detailed
information on homicides: the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
Supplementary Homicide Reports and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention's Fatal Injury Reports. Chapter Three presents data
on homicide trends from 1992 to 2011. It describes homicide
patterns and trends by age, sex, and race of the victim. It
explores weapon use, with a focus on trends in firearm use and
homicide trends by city size. It also includes special discussions
of missing offender data and firearm use in nonfatal violent
victimisations. Chapter Four provides comparative data from as far
back as 1986 for context and analyses of firearms manufacturing
trends over the years, and a broad picture of the state of firearms
commerce in the United States today. It includes a state-by-state
breakdown of the federal firearms licensees and a state-by-state
breakdown of the National Firearm Act tax revenue information
available through 2014.
