When you hear the Left making statements that US leads the world in mass shootings, they are usually quoting a study done by University of Alabama associate professor, Adam Lankford.
Well our old friend, John Lott, has something to say about this. It seems that Mr. Lankford based his opinion on the supposed fact that there were 90 mass shootings in the US since 1966, compared to 202 in the rest of the world. Well John Lott found over 3000 mass shootings in the rest of the world! Moreover, it appears to date that Mr Lankford has been unwilling to share his data and exactly how he got it.

The Dominant Narrative
"Let's be clear," President Obama said in 2015 after a shooting in North Carolina. "At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries."
Sen. Harry Reid echoed this sentiment. "The United States is the only advanced country where this kind of mass violence occurs."
Media headlines have left little doubt that the US leads the world in mass shootings. In fact, according to CNN, it isn't even close.
