Why pre-suppose that 2 per year is an acceptable norm, that is not problematic in itself?
No one does. The rest of your comment is a riff on that point, so I won't respond to that. This (brief) analysis was trying to answer the question: are there more mass shootings now than in the past? The answer was no, and that there are about 2 a year.
This point is entirely independent from the question, what can we do to decrease the number of mass shootings?
