PALM BEACH, Florida, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The total number of deadly mass shootings in the U.S. just in 2019 comes is up to 385, as of December 1, according to Gun Violence Archive, as highlighted by CBS News. “Before this year has even ended, 2019 has already had more mass shootings than any year since the research group started keeping track.” A recent shooting in New Orleans left 11 people injured. A shooting at Saugus High School in November 2019 left two teen students dead, and three wounded. “The failure to protect our communities, families, and children is a waking nightmare that needs to end,” former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords said, as quoted by The Guardian. Unfortunately, law enforcement has had little to no time to prepare or protect citizens ahead of these incidents often because of cost issues, and the availability of effective technology. However, there are companies that are quickly moving to improve enforcement possibilities, saving lives in the process. In fact, some of the top companies include Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX:PAT)(OTCQX:PTOTF), Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ:AAXN), ShotSpotter Inc. (NASDAQ:SSTI), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Johnson Controls International PLC (NYSE:JCI).
