WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:


  • The United States has recorded 609 mass shootings so far this year, according to The Gun Violence Archive.
  • The country has surpassed 600 multiple-victim shootings in three straight years.
  • The disturbing data shows increased gun violence over the last eight years. 

The U.S. has seen more than 600 mass shootings for three straight years.

According to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, there have been 609 incidents in 2022 in which four or more people, other than the attacker, were shot — putting the U.S. on pace to reach around 675 by the end of the year.

Last year saw a staggering 690 mass shootings across the nation, up from 610 in 2020 and 417 in 2019.

“The country is three mass shootings away from 2022 being the second-highest yearly total since we began tracking data,” the GVA database researchers said Wednesday. By Thursday, the country was just two shootings away from that dark milestone.

Five people were killed in a mass shooting at Club Q nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., earlier this week, and six were killed Wednesday at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Va.

The recent deaths add to the grim total number of gun violence deaths in the U.S. this year, which the Gun Violence Archive database puts at 39,816. 

More than 18,000 of those deaths were homicides, while around 21,500 were suicides.

“GVA had never logged a month of 60+ mass shootings before 2020. It happened five times in 2020, six times in 2021, and now six times again this year,” the GVA researchers said after the Colorado incident.

The U.S. has experienced an average of 1.68 mass shootings per day so far this year, according to GVA. The average has been above 1 each year since 2019, with 1.9 mass shootings per day in 2021.

    That’s means 4 or more people. Most of those are in democrap controlled places. A large number is black on black. But you will only hear about the ones that aren’t over and over and over as they try to pass more laws that only disarm Lawful American Citizens and absolutely nothing about what to do with the criminals. Also why is it that it always comes out at some point that the FBI know that person and has been watching that person. Why so they can make sure he does it so the Left has another excuse to push for more anti gun laws ??? Thinking yet people as to the agenda the left is pushing ??

      Yep, Soros funds soft on crime district attorneys just so the common citizens who lack awareness that freedom of crime creates chaos amongst the public.
      Chaos creates unrest!
      Unrest creates tension buildup!
      Tension buildup creates violent behavior in ignorant people who become frustrated trying to solve personal problems. Their minds aren’t capable of creative recourses above violence.
      The violence convinces naive people that the only cure is to take all the guns away from everybody.
      Once all the guns are taken from citizens, then people like Soros, Obama, Gates, and Clinton’s can rule with oppression without recourse from the public.
      The new world order of Socialism becomes a reality that is irreversible and the elites become richer, and the common public become their slaves.
      There is no incentive for slaves to use their enginuity to create inventions that propel this country to lead the world with technology. It’s a slow but certain death of a powerful nation to turn the republic of the United States into this unrest of chaos created and controlled bye elite democrats funding freeloaders with working peoples tax dollars so that feeloaders will vote for them to keep Democrats in control of this floundering society that is excusing crime, but yet blaming the problem on guns in the democrats devious plan to disarm americans.

    We obviously have a problem with mass shootings in the U.S. However, why is it that the public is never given statistics that make a difference? I’m talking about things like what weapon was used, if it was acquired legally, if the shooter was treated for a mental illness or suspected of needing help. People don’t do these things “just because”. We have the information. Why is it kept secret?

      To your point, the FBI reported 61 mass shootings in 2021. This group says there were 690–more than 10x more than the FBI is reporting. This should have been pointed out by the US News. It wasn’t. WHY? It took me 5 seconds to pull up this discrepancy! If we can’t get agreement on the universe of mass shootings, how in the world are we going to get anything useful on the details of what is going on?

    The rats and rino destroyed this country, paying for bail, and not prosecuting crimes. What do you expect? Until the rat and rino infestation is put in check, this will continue. It’s time to fight. USAF retired

    The democRATS are importing crime,they need the AMERICAN people to think about how we are going to protect ourselves instead of thinking about what a horrible thing that they are doing to our once great country.They let democRAT supporters out of prison and then take away our self defense.Joey mumbles and his herd of”loonie goons”are totally anti AMERICAN citizens.

    There are only 365 days in a year. Six hundred per year is more than one every day. There is absolutely NO possible definition of “mass” shooting that can exceed more than one a day! Whoever said that is so full of shit his eyes must be turning brown!

    448 People Killed in Chicago This Year in 2022 – not one word of this from these media news people

    so if 600 as they say were killed – 75 percent of them is just in chicago

    Over 600 shootings in which 4 or more people were shot other than the perpetrator. What would be useful is to know where, when, by who (male, female, black, white, age, etc) and what kind of weapon was used. I would bet that more than half are black on black or black on white shootings. Are the shootings gang related? Are they work related, such as the latest Walmart shooting? What percentage are robberies, domestic violence, etc. Just making a statement that there are over 600 shootings without any reference is useless. The ages of the shooters is particularly valuable.

    Real is real. These are facts, but bend them any way you want, these people we once were children, church goers, shoppers etc are dead.

    For Those of you who have questions about that and what causes these tragedies to happen, do your research yourself. Read everything you can all points if view. Don’t be lazy about it and spout off every time you don’t like the facts. Whatever or Whoever caused it, it must be fixed.

    The Leftists and the corporate media who want to disarm and destroy America want you to think “active shooter” incidents and “mass shootings” are the same thing. They are not. In addition the FBI conveniently lies about the statistics because the truth doesn’t fit the narrative, blamed on both inexcusably poor definitions and sloppy unreliable data collection. To find the truth, you need to source data from more reliable and provable sources. Regarding “mass shootings”, the only crimes you’re likely to hear about in the media are ones where the alleged perpetrator fits the narrative de jour. Same with active shooter incidents, although we hear more about those because Leftist politicians never want to let a crisis go to waste. The ignorance and complete lack of common sense lead to statements by puppet Biden saying unbelievably stupid things such as “The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick.” as he did on Thanksgiving day. OK, he was reading from a script, but someone controlling him wrote that. Anyone with common sense knows that dealing with the criminals who use guns are the problem, not the guns, and certainly not the law abiding citizens who own them. What you won’t see in the media is the fact that good citizens who are legally armed are a good thing: in 2021 alone, there were 112 active shooter incidents (distinguished from “mass shootings”), of which 55 were STOPPED by an ARMED CITIZEN. Something to think about when the media publishes Globalist/Communist fear-porn propaganda.
