As cited by Reader's Digest, according to the Gun Violence Archive, there were 692 mass shootings in 2021, and 610 in 2020. And these numbers don’t include the roughly 20,000 other gun homicides, 25,000 gun suicides and 115,000 non-fatal gun injuries—including the 18,000 children shot and killed or wounded every year. That works out to about one gunshot victim every two seconds.
Luckily, according to the shill lobbying organization laughably called the National Rifle Assn., and its (R)enowned political front organization this is not a problem.
