Workd record holder for another year.

Is there a record for how many consecutive years a country had held this record?
- I mean... when no one else is competing, how hard is it to keep breaking your own records?
  
  This is the world series all over again.
- If you pay Guiness enough, there can be.
  
  I say we do it right, if we're going to do it.
Thats what freedom looks like you primitive commies!
They are counting the stabbing in NY as a mass shooting?
- The article uses the term “mass killing”, so no.
  
  Right, but. In the article they state
  
  "A series of murders over the weekend have propelled the United States to a grisly new record: the most recorded mass shootings in a year"
  
  Including the stabbing which they then refer to as a mass killing. I'm not arguing the point of the article. Its just misleading.
- No, it's listed in the article as a mass killing, not shooting.
  
  Another attack occurred on Sunday in New York City, when a 38-year-old man stabbed four of his relatives – including two children – as well as another woman and two police officers before they shot him. That was the country’s 41st mass killing of 2023
