mass shootings
There's a lot of noise from the Biden administration, who claim to be addressing gun violence as an epidemic, but their efforts have only been for optics, as very little action has been taken so far. This past weekend, a dozen mass shootings were recorded across the country, according to CNN.

An extremely chaotic weekend for the country as mass shootings plagued the Eastern half of the country. The shootings occurred during a period of high unemployment and lingering socio-economic issues stemming from the pandemic. Also, there are mental health concerns among some Americans who have been cooped up in their homes for the past year due to virus lockdowns and restrictions. With the temperatures increasing ahead of summer and the economy reopening - people are mingling again. Some police departments across the country have been defunded and are having trouble maintaining law and order.

GVA said mass shootings had risen significantly over the last few years in the U.S.
