If you can remember these “off the top of your head”, that says a lot more about you than trans people.

Can you name all the ~5k non-trans mass shooters during that same timespan?

Most don’t exist:

> Using FBI active shooter data (excludes gang violence), there were 85 non-gang-related mass shooters in the US from 2021-2025 (24 in 2024, 48 in 2023, 13 in 2022, ~0 in 2021; 2025 data incomplete as of Sep 14).

There are absolutely too many trans mass shooters.

Sure. This is a nice indication you're doing a little sleight of hand.

I'm sure you knew all their perpetrators' names by heart, right?

> Active shooter incidents that meet the federal standard for mass killings have at least three fatalities in a single incident, not including the shooter. If the police are notified of the incident after it has concluded or the event occurs in a sparsely populated public place, then it is not considered by the FBI to be an active shooter incident.

> Incidents resulting from self-defense, gang violence, drug violence, domestic or residential disputes, hostage situations, or crossfire as a byproduct of another ongoing criminal act, as well as acts that do not put other people in peril, are also not considered active shooter incidents.

The Kirk shooting, therefore, was not an "active shooter" by this definition, either. I suspect that definition would be a surprise to the folks there.
