Whatever side of the political fence you sit on, we can all agree that school shootings should not happen. And yet the number of school shootings in the United States has been steadily growing in the last few years, rising from a high of 52 in 2019 to 73, 79 and 82 in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Of course, people can (and will) argue about these precise figures. But hopefully, we can also agree that even one school shooting is too many. Yet few of us are confident that Congress will pass any law that can meaningfully reduce the number of dead, any time soon.
