    I agree it should be separated, but that doesn’t make it bad data. Unless you don’t know how to read tables, but that’s more of an individual problem than an issue with the information provided.

      It’s bad data because it’s used as a contention point to make people think mass shootings happen ever 4 seconds or a school shooting every day. When this is completely incorrect. We get pissed at scientist who indulge in their papers, but this gets a pass?
