I heard on the PBS News that El Paso and Dayton are the 250th and 251st mass shootings this year.
I found various numbers when searching the internet. This wiki article confirms there is no one accepted method of counting mass shootings:
"This is a list of mass shootings in the United States that have occurred in 2019. Mass shootings are incidents involving multiple victims of firearm-related violence. The precise inclusion criteria are disputed, and there is no broadly accepted definition.[2][3]
Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the perpetrators, are shot in one location at roughly the same time.[4] The Congressional Research Service narrows that definition further, only considering what it defines as "public mass shootings", and only considering victims as those who are killed, excluding any victims who survive.[2] The Washington Post and Mother Jones use similar definitions, with the latter acknowledging that their definition "is a conservative measure of the problem", as many rampages with fewer fatalities occur.[5][6] The crowdsourced Mass Shooting Tracker project defines a mass shooting as "an incident where four or more people are shot in a single shooting spree. This may include the gunman himself, or police shootings of civilians around the gunman."[7]
As of July 31, 2019, 248 mass shootings have occurred in 2019 that fit the inclusion criteria of this article. This averages out to 1.2 shootings per day. In these shootings, 979 people were injured and 246 died (for a total of 1,325 victims). "

If you had actually opened my link you would have found your chart there, along with the debunking of it.
Reading is hard when you're a Reichwinger.
Yeah, that and the usual excuse that they don't open links from lefty sites, they don't open links from sites they don't recognize, they don't open any link posted by a liberal, and blah blah blah.
Actually I have an update. Maybe some would prefer a more liberal source...Time:
Obama: 37 (2009 > 2016)
Trump: 29 (2017 > present)

The Time article references a Mother Jones piece and spreadsheet. Here:https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/ It really takes the wind out of anyone's sails trying to say you are incorrect.
Obama's eight years compared to trump's 2-1/2 years. Sounds about right.

Ruh roh raggy.
True. It ramped up greatly starting with Bama.
And you are not outraged at this, even if the chart was accurate? Why not? Isn't life sacred to you?

Big time..
That asshole set race relations back 50 years while he dog whistled for cop killings from the White House.
Hopey Changey
So in eight years there were 37 mass shootings during Obama's tenure. Toadstool has been in office for 2-1/2 years and there have already been 29, according to your source. And you don't see how you just failed your whole "But Obama's worse....!" b.s.?
Gods, no wonder you support the immoral lying Conman-in-Chief.

Trump is the best President of the
Confederate States of America since Jefferson Davis
Yep. Before Obama the darkies were content to work by day and sing gospel songs by night, live in their own neighborhoods, and didn't mind at all if occasionally some of them were lynched by white cops. But then along came Obama and damn, did those darkies suddenly develop a 'tude! Suddenly they wanted the same stuff we privileged whites have enjoyed -- education, decent jobs with benefits, not to be shot by a cop at a traffic stop. How DARE they?! Yes, things were so much better before that troublesome Civil Rights Act was passed -- 55 years ago (1964).

Obama was a race-baiting POS who hated cops, whites and America in general. He ripped this country in two and you pretend we were all in a coma during that reign of terror.
Puleeze. I wasn't.
Worst President in history, edging Carter out based on the toxic hate and division he created.
So why didn't it ramp down greatly when Obama left office?
Well.... maybe fetal life is.... but we're talking about outside the womb here.
Oh dear. Now you've done it. Logic, the dogbane of the Reichtards. lol
