Gun Violence Issue
Gun violence is a daily tragedy affecting the lives of individuals around the world. More than 500 people die every day because of violence committed with firearms. Anyone can be affected by firearm violence but in certain situations gun violence disproportionately impacts communities of colour, women and other marginalized groups in society. Sometimes, the mere presence of firearms can make people feel threatened and fearful for their lives with severe and long-term psychological effects on individuals and whole communities.
The Problem Of Mass Shootings
Mass shootings are typically defined as shootings where four or more victims are killed. In the USA, between 2009 and 2016, there were: 156 mass shootings with a total of 848 people killed and 339 injured Public mass shootings account for less than 1% of gun deaths in the USA. However, public mass shootings have a profound emotional and psychological effect on survivors, families and communities. They have created an environment in which people feel unsafe in public places, such as churches, schools, concert venues and cinemas which impacts their human rights to religion, education and leisure.
