Mass shootings: Four more dead in Aurora



Ironically, one of the strengths in the movement to curtail U.S. gun violence is continued gun violence across the country.

On Jan. 5, a gunman and three others were shot to death in Aurora, Colo., where another gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 at a movie theater in July 2012.

For a quantitative perspective on U.S. gun violence, check out slate.com's collaboration with twitter maven @GunDeaths. According to @GunDeaths, there have been at least 429 gun homicides in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary School schooting last month.
