According to WaPo, 235 mass shootings occurred in the US since the beginning of the year

The headline reads "over 200", but the article details 235, not counting any that have occurred since the article was published. We are in a Bull Market for mass killings.

Now we have a decent reserve built up to maintain our one-a-day average for 2022. This will compensate in case we have some slow days later in the year when there are none at all.
