As the world begins to heal from the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. will have to continue to deal with its own epidemic: gun violence.Â
Americansâ lives are starting to revert back to normal and that includes the common occurrence of mass shootings. Only three months into 2021, there have been 119 mass shootings, resulting in over 10,000 gun violence-related deaths, according to the Gun Violence Archive. According to the Congressional Research Service, mass shootings are defined as multiple firearm homicide incidents, involving four or more victims at one or more close locations.
As restrictions are lifting up and people are allowed to regain a part of their social lives, they shouldnât have to fear being gunned down in public. People not only carry the fear of contracting COVID-19, but they also have to live with the anxiety over the next mass shooting. We shouldnât have to sit back and watch as these horrific scenes play out repeatedly on our TV screens. Â
