So far this year, the nation has seen at least 146 mass shootings.

The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as at least four people shot, not including the suspect.

“It feels like every day in this country we are totally consumed by yet another mass shooting. Nowhere else in the developed world do people wake up to this preventable horror every single morning," Kris Brown, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement Monday. "Whether it's a bank, a school, a supermarket, or a church, Americans no longer feel safe in their communities. And Americans are increasingly tired of living in fear of being a victim of a mass shooting."

“It does not have to be this way," Brown said. "But until the gun industry no longer has a vice grip on our elected officials, this will continue to be our daily reality."
