A sharp decline in mass shooting events in the United States so far this year has led to 91 fewer deaths and 220 fewer injuries than were seen at the same time in 2023, data from the Gun Violence Archive shows, as shootings remain at a three-year low following a spike during the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. Indeed. There was a peak rage

Who knows why? Pandemic isolation wearing off? Society, friends, families, girlfriends paying attention? Background checks just a little more prevalent here or there?

I would bet Uvalde, the Crumbleys, and the Buffalo shooter's family hit home to a lot of people. There are signs of trouble, pay attention. If you see something, SAY SOMETHING!
