Modern Day Gun Violence and Culture

Artifact #6: This graph shows the increase in gun violence 20 years after the Columbine High School Shooting, where thirteen people lost their lives at the hands of two gunmen. One might think that things would have changed in gun legislation following a tragedy like Columbine, but sadly, no further efforts have been made. 

Artifact #7: This graph shows how students perceive their safety in school following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This graph shows that students are in the middle of the range, but lean more toward feeling unsafe in school.
