After WW II Japan got rid of guns and guess what happened? They have almost no
deaths by guns.

How many mass shootings have we had in 2025?

Btw we have had 38 mass shootings in America since August 1st. A mass shooting
is when 4 or more people not counting the gun man or gun woman wounded or killed.
