DelhiDesk Mass killings in the US continue to happen at an alarming rate, with 115 people dying in 22 mass killings in the first four months of 2021 alone. Contributing factors include an increase in all types of gun violence, lax gun laws, pandemic-related stress, a political climate resistant to change, and a culture that glorifies violence. While mass killings represent a small fraction of overall gun deaths, they provoke deep fear in the public. Measures such as firearms reform and weapons bans could help prevent such crimes, but there is little appetite for them on Capitol Hill. President Joe Biden, an advocate of stronger gun control, is frustrated with Congress’s reluctance to pass a ban on some semi-automatic rifles. Despite the passing of gun violence legislation, the pace of violence has not slowed down and has been compounded by the pandemic, climate change, and racial reckoning. The families of victims like Stephen Berger, who was killed in the Las Vegas massacre in 2017, continue to grapple with the haunting question of why these tragedies continue to happen.
