France has four times are rate.

There were 16 cases where at least 15 people were killed. Out of those cases, four were in the United States, two in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.

Adjusting for population those four have a combined higher rate.

Stop reading the liberal US media. Are "gun culture" is not the problem.

With the exception of France, what do all of the countries with a higher rate than the US have in common?

Here's a quote from a WSJ article on this topic:

The U.S. represents less than 5% of the 7.3 billion global population but accounted for 31% of global mass shooters during the period from 1966 to 2012, more than any other country, Mr. Lankford said, adding that he defines a mass shooter as one who killed at least four victims. The 90 killers who carried out mass shootings in the U.S. amounted to five times as many as the next highest country, the Philippines, according to his research.

Adjusting for population, the difference was smaller: The number of public mass shooters for the U.S. was 65% higher per capita than the per capita rate for the Philippines. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-leads-world-in-mass-shootings-1443905359

Here's more gristle for thought.

Like many things, how one views it depends on what data one chooses to use and how one manipulates the data.

But our spelling culture is.

No but you make a good point.

Uhm... can a mod please correct the title to read "America DOES NOT have a higher death rate from mass public shootings than some countries in Europe"

Boris, as usual can you please provide meaningful data, or adjust your attitude down to accommodate your data to what it actually is? Also, please note that your data doesn't actually mean anything in context of US vs Europe-- Last I checked, Austria, The Netherlands, Russia, Italy all exist in Europe.

The data speaks for itself.

I am sorry you are to scared to read the article an accept facts for what they are.

Interesting. A few instant thoughts.

Why the time frame?

Many of the researchers have found that data for many non US countries is not inclusive. That is to say many killings were not on a quick query list used by places like that WSJ.

Nothing is said of mass shootings plus other mass murder types. I apologize as that is what I intended for my thread title yet forgot.

Nothing is adjusted for terrorist attacks. I do not think US culture or any for that matter should be blamed for terrorism.

Nothing is adjusted for rioting acts like the cop killings which are clearly different from the issue of wonton public shootings.

LOL. Nice twisting of stats to make yourself look better than it is.

It sure as hell does.

Fact: I think this might be the first time we agree on something.

That is cute.

Comparing 5 million populations to USA. Comparing Mexico where drug mafia executions to USA. Everyone knows Mexico is one of highest crime an murder rates in the world. Russia an China compared to USA is laughable statistic. Both have ridiculous high murder rates.
