I don't find it that tough at all. There's a lot of mass shootings in a country where there are a lot of guns, and a lot of politicians that don't want anything to do with any kind of gun control legislation. After the mass shooting in Texas some politicians were talking about arming teachers and making schools tougher to get into. Not gun control. Arming teachers. More guns.
Lots of guns = lots of gun related deaths. Pretty easy.
I can't access that NYT article anymore, but next time there's a mass shooting with 10 people shot and 'only' 1 or 2 dead I'm going to call it a mass shooting. Because that's what it is.
