So the official numbers are in - 648 mass shootings (4 or more people shot in one incident) in the US in 2022. 2nd most in a year since they started tracking data (2021 is number 1 with the 693).

The panel in the clip below also talked about an older incident in 2021 where a man in Atlanta emerged from a grocery store bathroom with 6 guns and body armor causing panic when people saw him. Police arrested him without incident but the charges were all dismissed this past February, but 10 new lesser charges have been laid and he is still in custody today. According to a defense lawyer now involved in the case, "I mean, all the guy did was be in the store with guns,” he said. “I go into Kroger with a gun, and I don’t expect to be arrested for reckless conduct when I do that. Based on the information from the case, he didn’t do anything that would even remotely constitute reckless conduct. And shame on the state for even prosecuting him for that.”
