The Relation Between Mass Shootings and the AR-15
This blog was originally posted to PeterPalivos.org In 2012, 12 people were shot in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. A few months later in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 children were shot in their elementary school including teachers and the mother of the shooter. In 2015, 16 people were killed, and 24 were wounded in San Bernardino, California. In 2016, about 100 people either were murdered or badly wounded in a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This year, our country saw its deadliest mass shooting. A country concert in Las Vegas, Nevada is where 58 people lost their lives, and more than 500 people were left wounded. These events only account for a handful of the gun violence and trauma this country has seen. We are left hurt, devastated, and confused. To find a bit of understanding as to why these horrific acts are being done, I began to look into the tools that mass-murderers are using. One of the most common weapons of mass destruction is the AR-15 rifle or its variants. T
