2013 Deaths: 2,585,745 Murders: 16,121 Mass Murder Deaths: 40

Mass murders account for 0.2% of all murders, and 0.001% of all deaths. All this talk about how horrible the problem is and how America is plagued with mass murders ignores the fact that we're talking about about less than 40 deaths a year. More people die from falling out of trees.

6 in 1000 deaths are murders? that seems high.

It is, US is very high compared to other developed nations.

And yet this unbiased chart is designed to minimise that impact as much as possible

Developed nations is certainly something worth noting. But, if I may, I'd be more interested in comparing other "melting pot" type nations. If you don't feel a strong connection to your fellow national then I feel like those numbers increase instead of just based off social economic standings.

Seems quite accurate it was 5/1000 back in 2012. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5

Although statistically mass murders make a minuscule proportion of deaths in such a large country, it must be noted that these sorts of mass murders are relatively unheard of in other developed countries. It also must be noted that the US has a much higher than average murder rate. While this may be due to poor policing, high firearm ownership rates or poor promotion of mental health.

Current preventative policies are seemingly ineffective as a deterrent and the media provide the desired platform for the assailant to project their message. The separation in logic between a single murder and a mass shooting is not so great that it would not be unreasonable to sadly predict an increase in the percentage of mass murders in the future.

Well, people dying is a fact of life, people dying at the hands of others is something we should aim to fix. Whether it be from mass murders, regular murders or because of a faulty economical distrubtion model that cause the deaths of poor people if they get sick or have a bad day. Wanting to Fix the worst situations first is not a fault, it's natural instinct. Stopping spree killings is also somewhat easier than redesigning a political and economic system. Even if both are needed.

So to put this chart here as some sort of indirect acusation that people feeling upset about spree/mass killings should "try to focus on the big picture", that's just rude and somewhat disingenious imho.

People believe it is easier to legislate other people than trees. Whether or not that is true is another problem entirely.

But falling out of a tree isn't down to society or parental fault. People mass murder because they are mentally unstable due to a number of factors which more than likely could have been avoided.

Can you link to your data source please?

Edit: I think I found it (Table 10): http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

Less than 40 a year. That's still too much. So that means someone each year will go into a school or wherever and mass murder. Also over 16000 people are being murdered alone each year. EACH YEAR. That is a crazy amount that which alone kind of puts things in perspective.
