|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Within first 24 days of this year, 70 people killed in 39 mass shootings in US
- At this time this last year, America had seen 27 mass shootings, data shows
- In California, gunman Huu Can Tran killed 11 people at a ballroom dance hall
Many of worst mass shootings post-COVID have occurred in states with tight gun laws, data shows
[JustTheNews] Of the five deadliest shootings in the U.S. since 2020, four of the states in which they occurred have at least a "B" grade for gun laws from gun control nonprofit.
The mass shooting in California that left 10 people dead this weekend is the latest reminder that many of the deadliest mass shootings in America since COVID-19 have occurred in states with strict gun laws.
The worst mass shooting by far since the start of the COVID pandemic occurred in Uvalde, Texas, where when 21 elementary school students were killed. The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives Texas an F grade for gun laws, as the state allows permitless carry and does not have restrictions on assault weapons, among other things.
However, of the five worst shootings in the United States since 2020, four of the states in which they occurred have at least a "B" grade from Giffords.
Excluding murder-suicides within a family, half of the ten deadliest mass shootings over this period occurred in states that received at least an "A-" gun law grade.
The ten, in order, are:
5/24/2022 Texas 12 killed at Robb Elementary
1/21/2023 California 10 killed at Monterey Park dance studio
3/22/2021 Colorado 10 killed in Boulder grocery store
5/14/2022 New York 10 killed in Buffalo supermarket
5/26/2021 California 9 killed in San Jose Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority
4/15/2021 Indiana 8 killed by former FedEx employee
3/16/2021 Georgia 8 killed at Atlanta area Asian massage parlors
