Mass shooters are obviously despicable, but they wouldn’t generally be terrorists. The definition of terrorist requires a political motivation. But even if you did include school shooters in the count, they still would be greatly outnumbered by the amount of people in actual terrorist groups. Some like Hezbollah are effectively armies. Also, I can’t think of a game where you deal with isolated mass shooters.

I mean… “the terrorists” of the last 30 years are mostly white guys with AR-15s so… (statista.com/…/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shoote… is an aggregator that looks somewhat legit)

… white people who shoot children for the sole purpose of making people hurt and spreading terror aren’t terorists because… they don’t care enough?
Jesus fucking christ.
