So your definition of "isolated issue" is an extremely rare event and not an event that isn't part of a larger pattern?

Call it isolated issue, call it extremely rare, whatever it is, it’s not worth taking into account when deciding to live in the US or not.

I agree that mass shootings aren't a large statistical risk for an individual. I'm only objecting to the use of language that suggests they aren't a systemic issue.
