The US sees mass shootings every week, if not every day.

如果不是每天,那美国至少每周都发生大规模枪击事件。

And data suggests that mass shootings are actually accelerating and have been in recent years.

数据显示,大规模枪击事件实际上正在递增,近年来一直如此。

2023 is no different.

The Gun Violence Archive data that tracks mass shootings where at least four people were injured, not including the gunmen.

枪支暴力档案的数据追踪了至少4人受伤的大规模枪击事件,不包括枪手。

That data going back to 2014 suggests there's been a general increase from less than 300 mass shootings that year to more than 600 in the past three years.

2014年的数据显示,大规模枪击事件从当年不到300起增加到过去三年的600多起。

That database just tracks mass shootings where four or more people have been killed, not including the gunman.

该数据库只追踪造成4人或4人以上死亡的大规模枪击事件,不包括枪手。

That database also shows us that the number of incidents categorized as being caused by hate, terrorism, or indiscriminate violence, those have increased from two a year to five.

该数据库还向我们显示,被归类为仇恨、恐怖主义或不分青红皂白的暴力造成的事件数量从每年2起增加到每年5起。

And attacks in public places like schools, hospitals, and malls have an increased from 7 year to 10 a year.

在学校、医院和商场等公共场所发生的袭击事件从每年7起增加到每年10起。

Gun violence, mass shootings, those are very complicated phenomenon caused by a lot of different things.

枪支暴力,大规模枪击事件,这些都是由很多不同的事情引起的非常复杂的现象。

There could be, you know, personal factors, economic factors, mental health issues.

And amid the COVID pandemic, we saw a surge of sales in firearms.

在新冠期间,我们看到枪支销售激增。

The US has more firearms per resident than any other country in the world.

美国是世界上人均持有枪支最多的国家。

Some experts who study gun violence say that just the prevalence of having firearms in everyday life will make it more likely for a potential disagreement to escalate into a mass shooting or into a, you know, a homicide.

一些研究枪支暴力的专家表示,仅仅是日常生活中枪支的普遍存在,就更有可能使潜在的分歧升级为大规模枪击或杀人。

In 2015, a team of researchers at Arizona State and Northeastern Illinois University looked at this USA TODAY/ AP/ Northeastern database that we have.

2015年,亚利桑那州立大学和东北伊利诺伊大学的一组研究人员查看了我们拥有的《今日美国》/美联社/东北大学数据库。

The researchers found the probability of new mass shootings increased for 13 days after each incident.

研究人员发现,在每次事件发生后的13天内,新的大规模枪击事件发生的概率都会增加。

The summer of 2022, we saw the shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York,

2022年夏天,我们在纽约布法罗的一家超市、

an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

And then two days later, a store manager killed six people at a Walmart, in Chesapeake, Virginia.

So there is one school of thought saying they are clustering more.

所以有一种观点认为它们更倾向于聚集。

There are others who say mass shootings are just happening more frequently anyway.

也有人说,大规模枪击事件发生得越来越频繁了。

And those that get media coverage may create the appearance of there being clusters,

那些得到媒体报道的可能会造成集群的表象,

but we just don't have enough data or research yet to show that is statistically significant and actually true.

但我们只是没有足够的数据或研究来证明这在统计上是显著的,而且是真实的。
