The Atlantic, May 2013
ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Gun violence has dropped dramatically since twenty years go, so why do we think it's getting worse? It could because there has been an uptick in the number of mass shootings (shootings of 3 people or more), and the subsequent media coverage, which quickly and deeply color our perceptions. Now the question becomes; why the increase in mass shootings? Is there any correlation to the states that have cut mental health funding?
