In just the first seven months of 2023, more than 22,000 people have died and more than 19,000 have been injured as a result of firearms, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking shooting data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pace of shootings is likely to rise over summer, as hotter weather has been proven to bring about more violence, including violence aided by guns. According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, one simple reason is that more people\u2014especially those without access to air conditioning\u2014are out and about. Children are also likelier to be outdoors, with schools closed. More people in public spaces means more everyday altercations that, because of how accessible guns are in the US, turn deadly. \u201cThis results in more chances for violence to erupt,\u201d the Giffords Law Center\u00a0says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, two European-based psychiatry researchers, who theorized that the changing seasons\u2019 effect on \u201cmood, hostility, anger, irritability, and anxiety\u201d could be related, used three recent years of United States data to study the phenomenon. Their journal\u00a0article, titled \u201cSeasonal Influence on Mass Shootings,\u201d found a \u201cclear increase in the number of mass shootings as well as the numbers killed and injured during the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe peak begins in May and finishes around September\u2013October,\u201d they wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But their findings came with a caveat: They warned they could not replicate their findings outside the United States, which has by far the greatest number of large shooting incidents among any developed country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReproducing our results in two different countries would have strengthened our hypothesis,\u201d the psychiatrists said. \u201cHowever, no reliable data exist on mass shootings besides in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That may just be because there are too few to count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers have found a \u201cclear increase\u201d in summertime gun violence in the US Police say the shooter, a white male, discharged at least four rounds \u201cwithout speaking.\u201d An early morning&nbsp;shooting left nine people injured in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday.
