Whatever your political views and feelings about the 2nd Amendment, this should be worrisome to anyone who reads it (emphasis mine):
Starting on March 16, when eight people were killed at three Atlanta-area spas, the US has had at least 45 mass shootings, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media, and police reports.
The US has seen at least 147 mass shootings in 2021, according to data from the GVA, a non-profit based in Washington.
CNN considers an incident to be a mass shooting if four or more people are shot, wounded, or killed, excluding the gunman; so does the GVA.
That's more than 2 shootings a day. That should be unacceptable in a modern society for all its citizens.
I rest my case.
From CNN.
