"US Breaks Record for Deadliest Six Months of Mass Killings"

The United States has experienced the deadliest six months of mass killings since at least 2006, with 28 mass killings resulting in 140 victims from January 1 to June 30, 2023. The majority of these incidents involved guns. Experts attribute the rising bloodshed to a growing population and increased availability of firearms. While mass killings represent a fraction of overall gun violence, they often prompt calls for gun law reform. However, the National Rifle Association remains staunchly opposed to regulating firearms. Survivors and families of victims are advocating for change, expressing concerns about the future safety of their communities and schools.
