The Virginia Beach shooting: 12 killed after city worker open fires at colleagues on 31st May 2019.One of the brutal attacks of the MONTH.

Mass shootings are incidents involving multiple victims of fire-arm related violence. The total number of mass shootings listed according to Wikipedia is 140+ in 2019 itself.
America had a rough total of 148 mass shootings throughout the country in which total number of people killed has reached to 149 and 585 being injured. This shocking statistical data does not explain the deeper thought processes of the shooters involved, neither does it explain the access of firearms among the civilians despite Gun Laws in the states.
The need to have guns apparently is a big paradox in itself. Civilians have been arguing their gun access as to protect and to defend themselves but at the same time, it’s some of the very civilians getting on the ground and resorting to killing innocent people due to their unconscious or conscious motives.
The statistical data of the shootings show a rapid increase in the shootings and the number of victims with the highest in the month of May – 43 shootings and a total of 198 being wounded.
