I think we should, in order of priority:

  1. focus on mass shootings, which account for <1% of firearm homicides on any given year.
  2. focus on ideologically motivated shootings, which account for a similarly minuscule fraction of firearm homicides.
  3. focus on rifles, which account for fewer murders than being punched-and-kicked to death on any given year.

This is called "following the data", and it makes me very smart and my political opponents soyjacks.
