Summary:
"According to the Washington Post, there have been 150 mass shootings since 1966. These attacks have claimed 1,077 lives. Twenty-one of these shootings took place at schools and colleges, leaving 194 dead. While the carnage from mass shootings is horrifying, mass shooting deaths make up a tiny percentage of the gun-related deaths that occur the United States each year. States and the federal government are taking actions to curb gun violence, and politicians are vowing that gun violence will decrease"-- Provided by publisher.
