<prompt> Hlalosa mekhoa ea pefo ea lithunya ea US lilemong tse leshome tse fetileng.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Describe the trends in US gun violence over the last decade. . Response in English: Over the last decade, gun violence in the United States has remained a persistent problem. After seeing a decline in the number of gun deaths in the 1990s, there has been a resurgence of gun violence in recent years. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, gun deaths increased by about 17 percent between 2008 and 2017.The total number of gun deaths in the US, including homicides and suicides, has been rising steadily. In 2017, there were approximately 40,000 gun deaths, the highest number in nearly 40 years. This can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the wide availability of guns, a rise in suicides, and an increase in gang-related shootings in some cities.One trend that has received attention in recent years is the increase in mass shootings. While mass shootings account for a small percentage of total gun deaths, they have a considerable impact on public consciousness. The frequency of mass shootings has risen, with some of the deadliest incidents occurring over the last decade, including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016, and the Las Vegas shooting in 2017.Gun violence in the United States remains a complex and sensitive issue, with varying factors contributing to national and regional trends. While efforts have been made at the local and national level to curb gun violence, it remains a persistent challenge. .
