I think we fixate on the mass shootings because they are random and create a fear that we could be a victim. Gang violence and other shootings don't necessarily create that fear because we can put those victims in a neat little category that doesn't include "us". For example: they were a gang-banger, the guy was constantly cheating on his wife, etc. Sadly, not everyone that dies in the other shootings are always gang members and drug dealers, or jilted lovers.

Mass shootings on 154 days out of 165 days this year so far. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/14/the-gop-baseball-shooting-is-the-154th-mass-shooting-this-year/?tid=sm_fb&utm_term=.fe3ed501dce5

Number of deaths are down this year due to 46 deaths at Pulse last year
