DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA - A TRAIL OF DEATH


AMERICAN MASS SHOOTINGS.


Mass shootings in the US: there have been 1,624 in 1,870 days.

No other developed nation comes close to the rate of US gun violence. Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every adult.

Data from the Gun Violence Archive reveals there is a mass shooting – defined as four or more people shot in one incident, not including the shooter – nine out of every 10 days on average

Attack on a Florida high school is the eighth shooting to have resulted in death or injury during the first seven weeks of the year.

After Sandy Hook, More Than 
400 People Have Been Shot in Over 200 School Shootings

When a gunman killed 20 first graders and six adults with an assault rifle at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, it rattled Newtown, Conn., and reverberated across the world. Since then, there have been at least 239 school shootings nationwide. In those episodes, 438 people were shot, 138 of whom were killed.
The data used here is from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that began tracking school shootings in 2014, about a year after Sandy Hook.
