It may be the way media report it, or how I pick it up, but,
It seems to me mass shootings appear more frequently in the US then anywhere else, where they seem to be more exceptional incidents.
Also, at the risk of sounding flippant, the number of people killed in these mass shootings appear insignificant compared with the total number of fire arm killings.

Right. The majority of firearm killings tend to be among urban types in cities with strict gun control, like Chicago and New York.
Like drugs, where there is a market, they will find their way in.
On the positive side, I saw a Department of Justice statistic that said that the prime beneficiaries of "justifiable homicide" (self-defense) are black men.
