Warmer Weather, Deadlier Gun Violence
Incidents of gun violence in the past 72 hours: 278.
Mass Shootings thus far in 2023: 144
A sampling from the last 72 hours, and we're just getting started. From Easter weekend through Halloween gun violence rises between 12 & 18% compared to weather less condusive for outside activities. Mass shootings during warmer months increase, on average, 23% compared to cooler weather months.
In short: 2023 is on track to be the deadliest and most gun violent ridden year since 1993.
(*Footnote: Gun violence in many of America's largest cities, NYC, LA, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit/Flint, and all of New Jersey are seeing violent crime and gun crimes decrease again, for the 11th quarter in a row.)
