Mother Jones compiled this mass shootings database... shootings from 1982-2016
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data
The only problem I find with it is it only contains the number killed and not all those who were shot and survived. When a mass murderer goes on a killing spree... where every shot is intended to kill, it's often an accident that all aren't killed. Improved medial or trauma care can save a person who might not have been saved 10-20 years ago. Including ALL the victims of these mass shootings provides a better comparison over time of the true devestation.

It looks to me like assault weapons, such the AR-15, are the big problem
