Massacre became a common phenomenon in the United States, especially in the late twentieth century. Previously, when a shooting incident led to a massacre in the United States, the time interval between the next similar incident was an average of six months, but in decades, and especially in recent years, the level of violence in the United States has increased to such an extent that Every week, news of deadly shootings spread across the country.
According to CNN, half of the world’s developed countries had at least one mass shooting between 1998 and 2019, and the rest of the world has seen more than eight in the past 22 years, but the United States has. There have been 100 massacres with firearms, leaving 2,000 dead and wounded.
The United States is the only country in the world with more guns than people. According to the Swiss Small Arms Survey (SAS), there are 120 firearms per 100 American citizens.
The report adds: “This figure is very high compared to other countries in the world, as in a region like the Falkland Islands, there are 62 firearms per 100 people, and thus ranks second after the United States.” In Yemen, there are 53 weapons per 100 people, which makes it the third largest arms owner in the world.
