Supposed to be based on some studies of criminals involved in gun crime and how did they obtain their guns.
Of course it depends on methodology, if one would take into account homicides only - as a total body count, the number will be higher. Exactly due to mass shootings.
While if it includes also non fatal shootings it will be at the low end, that's mostly prevalent in gang shoot outs, robberies, any type of crime where the victim is at the gun point.
Of course it's not a good idea to have some sort of an outsider with a history of mental issues to have access to guns.
