The US has experienced a number of mass shootings this year with 88 lives claimed in 17 incidents across 111 days in 2023. Shocking new data suggests the frequency is one shooting every 6.53 days.
The likelihood of Congress reinstating a ban on semi-automatic rifles appears far off, and the Supreme Court last year set new standards for reviewing the nation’s gun laws, calling into question firearms restrictions across the country.In 2009, the bloodshed slowed and the year finished with a final count of 32 mass killings and 172 fatalities.
Last week, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a new law mandating criminal background checks to purchase rifles and shotguns, whereas the state previously required them only for people buying pistols. Despite the blaring headlines, mass killings are statistically rare, perpetrated by just a handful of people each year in a country of nearly 335 million. And there’s no way to predict whether this year’s events will continue at this rate.
