Idk if there any numbers for that stat but when people say mass shootings they arent usually including gang violence, and are more talking about acts of terror, so it feels dishonest to include everything to make the graph.
Trans people are probably over represented in mass shootings if you exclude gang violence, but correlation isnt causation, with so few instances I dont know if theres statistical significance, and we shouldnt demonize groups of people who tend to be overrepresented in bad things anyways (i.e black people and violent crime, priests and teachers and child abuse, muslims and suicide bombings etc), its not like being over represented means you're a threat, unless you're literally surverying a prison criminals are going to be a very small minority of every group of people.
Good job on making these graphs as quick as you did, considering *everyone*'s using them on Twitter now lol
