‘Run, hide, fight’? Never again.

In 2022 alone, there were 636 mass shootings in the United States.

The criteria for mass shootings vary by source, but the common definition from the Gun Violence Archive is 4 or more people, excluding the shooter, are shot and wounded or killed.

Over 19,000 people have been wounded or killed by gunfire in mass shootings since 2015.

Among the ten deadliest mass shootings since 2015, three occurred at schools – two high schools and one elementary school.

Three were at entertainment venues.

One was at a grocery store.

One was at a church.

120 people are killed because of gun violence in the United States every single day.

The U.S. gun homicide rate is 26 times higher than other developed countries. There are ways to fix this.

Things like public safety gun laws are simple and effective ways to decrease gun violence. Other developed countries don’t have the gun violence issues we have.

The lack of legislative action on such an extreme and harmful matter is shameful and allows gun violence to continue.

It’s time for a change.

Otherwise, more people will be victims of gun violence.

Citizens should advocate and put pressure on political figures for the solution to gun violence and the protection of the people.
