17 Amazing Fall Foliage Photos to remind you how beautiful New England Fall Colors are

New England fall colors are famous throughout the word. Visitors from around the globe visit Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut to get a glimpse of our beautiful autumn display. There are plenty of historic landmarks, like covered bridges, white steeple churches, town buildings, and landscapes like the White Mountains, Green Mountains, Acadia National Park…

I got the secret history from my local library recently, however I was reading some other books for a school project and I forgot that it was due back to the library in about a week, so I got reading. I also did some school work and worked on some greek and latin. 

Since the year 2000 there have been more than 220 school shootings resulting in injuries or fatalities in America. In the more recent years, some of the injuries have occurred during safety classes where a teacher is going over gun control/safety and the gun has gone off and injured or killed a student.

Arming teachers isn’t the answer. Having metal detectors in the school and extra security isn’t doing enough. 

And that’s just school shootings.

Below you’ll find a list of some of the deadliest mass shootings in America from 2000 to present day along with how many deaths and what year. If this information doesn’t make you want to do something about the gun laws (or lack thereof) in America, then you need to rethink your priorities.

Las Vegas Shooting, 2017, 59 dead.

Orlando Nightclub Shooting, 2016, 50 dead.

Virginia Tech Shooting, 2007, 33 dead.

Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, 2012, 28 dead.

Sutherland Springs Church Shooting, 2017, 27 dead.

Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting, 2018, 17 dead.

San Bernardino Attack, 2015, 16 dead.

Binghamton shootings, 2009, 14 dead.

And just this Friday, May 18th, the Santa Fe High School shooting, 2018, 10 dead.

These are people. People with families and lives and dreams and goals. And now they’re dead. This is an issue that needs to be dealt with. 

More than 1,500 people in America have been killed due to mass shootings since the 1990s.

On March 24th 2018, there was March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C.

Since then there have been more than five school shootings with injuries and fatalities and it hasn’t even been two months.

We need gun control in America.

We need to ban assault weapons in America.
