This is true.

I was surprised to hear this as my impression was there were less mass shootings in the US. Too much noise from the last 4 years I guess.

The last 2 years of the Dumptser administration there was fairly large rise in mass shootings each year (especially 2020). I checked several sources and they all showed an increase.

I certainly blame the former guy for more shootings but what portion was due to Covid? Would be interesting to see data from other countries.
