The History Of US Gun-Violences

Data from the Gun Violence Archive shows that there have been 129 mass shootings this year in the US, in which four or more individuals were shot or lost their lives.

Regarding gun violence, the USA stands out among more prosperous, industrialized nations. A human rights catastrophe has resulted from the US government’s tolerance of gun violence. In the United States, more than 39,000 men, women, and children are killed by guns every year due to easy access to weapons and lax restrictions.

School and college shootings are becoming all too prevalent in the United States, where the availability of weapons has increased dramatically in recent years.
