There was 40 people shit in Chiicago this weekend alone i think 3 Died. The shootings involved more than 4 people at a time which justifies it as a mass shooting.

OK, so you heard about it... so what's the problem? Like I said, gang violence happens in many places across the country on a daily basis. National newspapers don't want to print "X People Shot in Gang-Related Incident" every day. I mean yes, of course its a problem, everybody's known about it since the 1980s. What do you propose the solution is?

20 people dying all at the same time is a pretty big fucking deal. Even if it happened in Chicago, damn straight it would be on the national news.

if you are in a gang you are most likely to die. mass shooting of innocents is TERRORISM, that's the difference.
Terrorism?  there have been over 1500 shootings in Chicago this year Far exceeding any "Mass shooting" this year.....That's terrprism

This is the stuff that gun owners point to when people tell them that mass shootings are the biggest problem. Mass shootings seem like a much larger problem then they are due to the fact that they're on the news all the time -- do you want to know why they're on the news all the time --> IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE RARE.

They're not going to put shootings in Chicago on the news, because that's not news anymore. It's common at this point.
