48 people were shot during yesterday’s 15-hour filibuster on gun control




Using data from the Gun Violence Archive and Vox, we pieced together a timeline of the reported shootings that occurred in America during the filibuster. (Note: Some news stories did not include specific times; in these cases, we made estimates based on the time of the report.)

Below, we screen-capped the approximate moment from the filibuster at which each shooting occurred.

So maybe zero guns of any kind should be the liberal goal. onehandle Jun 2016 #5
I highly encourage that to be the main thrust of the controller effort. linuxman Jun 2016 #6

I'm guessing a lot were suicides.

0 involved an AR-15.

Would an high capacity magazine ban have changed anything? I don't know, and I'm guessing neither does the author of this article.

5 wounded, 1 dead.

And I'm willing to bet both my testicles none of those involved (victims or shooters), were NRA members.
