John, driving should not be this deadly:

Rage Shootings"

Across the country, road rage shootings are on the rise. In 2021, an
average of 44 people per month were shot and killed or wounded in a road
rage shooting—double the pre-pandemic average.

It's yet another clear sign that we need urgent action from our lawmakers
to address the gun violence crisis.

[ [link removed] ]This deadly trend deserves our attention—and news outlets across the
country are taking note. Read this story about the communities affected by
road rage shootings.

Our research found that from 2016 to 2019, roughly one-third of road rage
incidents involving a gun resulted in injury or death. By 2021, nearly
two-thirds did.

And at the same time, gun sales reached record numbers across the country.

Aggressive driving certainly happens in other countries. But only in the
United States is someone shot and wounded or killed every 17 hours in a
road rage incident.

The data is clear: With easy access to guns, road rage can turn deadly.

If we're going to demand action to stop this crisis, we need to know what
we're up against. [ [link removed] ]Read this story to see how local leaders and
survivors are working to stop road rage shootings.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. Together, we can end gun
violence—in all forms.
