After the latest mass shooting tragedy in the US last month, discussion about gun control has once again heightened.
The Washington Post has created an interactive infographic that documents all the guns that have been used in mass shootings in the last 30 years, from 1984 to 2014.
Using data collected from Mother Jones, this infographic shows the kind of guns used in these horrific events, the number of people killed and wounded by them, and the profiles of the killers.
One of the key findings from this analysis is that legal weapons are the norm for mass shootings in the US.
