Mass killings surge in 2019 surpassing 2018 totals
By early 2019 the United States tallies 23 mass killings, nearly matching all of 2018 with 25. El Paso and Dayton haunt the count, while the data shows most shooters are young white men, often acting after domestic violence, with several cases ending in suicide or police action.

Red flag gun laws gain momentum in bipartisan push
Senators Graham and Blumenthal push a federal grant plan to encourage states to adopt red flag or extreme risk protection orders to remove guns from dangerous individuals. The effort follows mass shootings in Texas and Ohio and faces uncertain support in a Congress led by Mitch McConnell. The plan would require states to meet standards to receive federal funds and cites New York’s August 24 implementation as an example.
