Over the past decade, USA TODAY, along with Northeastern University and The Associated Press, has been tracking all mass killings in the United States. When it comes to gun violence, our database is narrower than some tracking sites, such as the Gun Violence Archive, that include shootings that injure large numbers of people but kill no one. However, our database is broader in other ways. It includes every mass killing since 2006 from all weapons in which four or more people, excluding the offender, were killed within a 24-hour time frame. The database also includes dozens of variables on each incident, offender, victim, and weapon.

Please….4+ murders in one incident is a typical night in Chicago.

You linked to an interesting website.

I perceive that society has become more violent since Biden took office, but a perception is not necessarily reality.

The data at that website confirms my perception.

Deaths from gun violence increased in 2020 (the first year of the pandemic) but increased even more in 2021 and 2022, the Biden years.

Let’s see—Biden refuses to enforce border security, allowing any number of criminal elements/cartels to enter the US. Biden represents the “Defund the Police” movement. Biden represents those who would avoid prosecuting criminals at all if they could get away with it. And Biden policies have damaged the economy, leading to more desperate people who might see crime as their only alternative.
