"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 an increased number of firearms in the country. While mass killings represent a fraction of overall gun violence, they often prompt attempts to reform gun laws. However, the National Rifle Association remains opposed to regulating firearms. Survivors and families of victims are calling for action to prevent further bloodshed and protect future generations.
