A mass shooting is defined as the killing of four or more people at any venue. Here is a graph of the killings this year.

The total to date is 532 people.
This graph includes today’s shooting a Sutherland Springs, Texas.
As a nation we appear to be willing to accept the killings as the price of the right to own a gun. In fact we can own as many guns as we want.
Of course there will be a vigil where candles will be light. Everyone will say a prayer but it is unlikely anyone will call for new gun controls.
Other nations have free democracies without the widespread ownership of weapons. It appears that this fact has not sunk into the heads of most Americans.
When Americans finally wake up to this fact perhaps we will see the passage of laws that limit gun ownership. Then again gun lovers seem to believe that their weapons are more important than life itself.
