The sun had barely risen on Saturday when a man forced his way inside a home in suburban Maryland. He fatally shot three, authorities said, before officers killed him. Less than 24 hours later, police said a gunman killed six people and himself at a birthday party in a Colorado Springs mobile home. Those were the deadliest shootings on Mother’s Day weekend — but they were far from the only ones. In just two days, more than 260 shootings across the United States killed 94 people and injured 236, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. They happened in 37 states, from Washington to Florida and from Arizona to New Hampshire, shaking both big cities and small towns. And they account for only a 48-hour snapshot of gun violence in America. But the weekend illustrates an alarming trend, said the archive’s founder, Mark Bryant: The number of shootings, including those that kill or injure several people, appears to be on the rise.
The mass shooting in Colorado Springs was part of a terrible weekend of gun violence The sun had barely risen on Saturday when a man forced his way inside a home in suburban Maryland.

Less than 24 hours later, police said a gunman killed six people and himself at a birthday party in a Colorado Springs mobile home.

And they account for only a 48-hour snapshot of gun violence in America. But the weekend illustrates an alarming trend, said the archive’s founder, Mark Bryant: The number of shootings, including those that kill or injure several people, appears to be on the rise. Six dead in Colorado Springs shooting at birthday party committed by man who then killed himself, police say “We saw a fairly steady trend line — it was going up, but going up relatively slow — from 2014 to 2019,” Bryant said in an interview. “Then 2020 had a fairly substantial leap. I thought last year was an outlier, but this year looks as if it will be even worse than last year. And we have not even begun to get to the summer season, the part that is usually the worst.” In 2020, with much of the country shuttered inside because of coronavirus pandemic precautions, gun violence killed nearly 20,000 Americans, not including suicides. It was more than any other year in at least two decades. The final numbers are impossible to predict, but this year is on track to top that. By May 10, 2020, more than 5,500 people had died in shootings. As of Monday evening, the year’s total stood at more than 6,700, according to the archive. Few of these life-ending and life-altering events receive widespread attention. They happen inside homes or on city streets, and — like covid-19 — they disproportionately affect communities of color. One California activist calls it “the forgotten pandemic.” But the past two months have brought a steady string of high-profile mass shootings, returning gun violence to the national spotlight at a time when the country feels as if it is waking from a coronavirus-induced hibernation, with people again crowding into bars, restaurants and public spaces. If the past eight weeks have signaled the resumption of some sort of “normal,” they have also reignited the quintessential American fear of gun violence. Researchers say the pandemic probably has fueled the shootings in several ways, including contributing to a surge in gun sales. Experts also have noted the apparent collapse of public confidence in law enforcement that followed the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

These types of shootings tend to overshadow the instances of everyday violence that account for most gun deaths, which experts say could obscure some people’s understanding of the problem and complicate the response. But their seeming randomness can stoke fear. In 2020, The Post counted five mass shootings. Already this year, there have been eight — the latest in Colorado Springs on Sunday. At the Canterbury Mobile Home Park there, the alleged gunman, who police said was the boyfriend of one of the women killed, walked into a party where family, friends and children were celebrating a birthday. He opened fire, killing six of the attendees and then himself, police said. Authorities did not release the names of the shooter or his victims, and they say they’re still investigating a possible motive. The shooting took place about one month after eight people were killed at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis when a former employee’s rampage ended in suicide, and two months after a gunman killed eight at Atlanta-area spas in March. And the state was still mourning the 10 gunned down at a Boulder grocery store on March 22. The drumbeat has given fresh urgency to the national push to tighten gun laws, with Democrats and activists renewing their calls for measures such as a ban on assault weapons and expanded background checks. “This doesn’t happen at birthday parties anywhere else in the world,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a vocal proponent of gun control legislation, tweeted after the Colorado Springs shooting. “What a stain on our nation that we just shake our heads and keep let it happen.” On the same weekend, one person was killed and seven injured in a shooting at a hotel in downtown Phoenix. Five more people were injured in a Charleston, S.C., shooting, and a quadruple shooting in Newark left one woman so badly hurt that officers had to apply a tourniquet to her leg to stop her from bleeding out.

3亿人，才死94人，几率不比中彩票大。中国每年死1000多万，每天死5万多，一个周末死10万，这个几率大得多。大多数死在医院或家里的床上，也就是说，在中国死在床上的几率要远大于在美国死于枪击。为什么CNN没有报道这么没有人权的事情？
你丫脑残啊？把非正常死亡跟正常死亡比较？

你个傻逼，中国每年自杀2，3十万，每天多少？你不关心关心？能自由拥枪的话会犯多少倍？
《我国每年25万人死于自杀》一文就报道：“据统计，我国每年约有25万人死于自杀，自杀未遂的人数约为200万。自杀已经成为我国人群第五大死因，是15岁到34岁的青壮
年人群的首位死因。（《人民日报》9月11日）”同日的《城市晚报》则报道：“在我
国，每年约有28.7万人死于自杀。有数据表明，自杀已经成为15岁到34岁青壮年人群的首位死因。”两年前，也有媒体对我国自杀现象进行报道，其间每年死于自杀的人数，据称也是25万或28.7万人。
南京长江大桥是自杀人数全球最多的大桥，据数据统计，南京长江大桥自建成以来，至少有2000多人在此跳桥自杀。
光芝加哥周末记录都不止这个数吧
那么多深蓝shithole呢
