The United States has the highest rate of gun deaths of any developed nation.
Shootings are a recurring scourge that successive governments have been powerless to stop, as many Americans remain deeply attached to their weapons.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) Gun Violence Archive, which classifies mass shootings as those resulting in at least four deaths or injuries, has counted 120 shootings in the United States since January 1.
In 2023, there were 656 mass shootings in the country.
