The facts about guns and gun violence in America tell a clear story.  We make it too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns.  The consequence is that too many people are killed and injured with guns in the United States. 

Often, we recall the horrific mass shootings where an unstable or perturbed individual opens fire and kills or injures people using powerful semiautomatic weapons. We have kept track of these all-too-common incidents via an interactive map and a chronological list.
