Wave Of Red State Laws May Be Driving Road Rage Shootings
"The number of shooting incidents stemming from road rage doubled in five years, from 218 in 2018 to 483 in 2023, according to new research from Everytown for Gun Safety, a prominent gun law reform group. The figure amounts to a driver opening fire at someone in traffic every 18 hours.
The sharp jump in road rage incidents contrasts with an overall decline in violence nationwide, the report notes. The group highlighted a significant connection that may help explain it: Road rage incidents increased most in states that have enacted laws that allow people to carry concealed handguns without a permit, meaning they don’t have to go through the application for a license to carry a weapon.
Everytown has monitored road rage shootings since 2018, according to senior research director Sarah Burd Sharps. The group noted a major increase in those shootings during the COVID-19 pandemic, which Burd Sharps attributed to the stress that the pandemic and associated lockdowns caused and the fact that Americans went on an unprecedented gun-buying spree during those years."
