The more recent statistics you look at, the more evidence of escalating gun violence there is as eight of the shootings with the highest number of casualties happen in the last ten years, with the Las Vegas attack in 2017 being the worst mass shooting in recent US history.
Sadly, regardless of escalation and emotional appeals, without resolute support through Congress, the numbers are likely to just keep going up and up.
The final worrying statistic is the fact that weekly sales jumped by about 20% and federal background checks saw a 25% increase right after Americans received the first $1,200 stimulus payments from the federal government in mid-April 2020, a soon to be received third round of stimulus checks are likely to see that trend continue on an upward and troubling trajectory.
