Mass shootings heading

It’s quite strange that under the mass shootings heading there is only one listed, -Port Arthur in Australia, where the AR-15 is irrelevant. It reeks of political bias. Almost every reader would already be aware of the AR-15’s link to American mass shootings so leaving it out (trying to hide it) just looks silly. It goes against wikipedia’s first pillar, a neutral view.
