This tragedy fuels an ongoing debate over gun reform and terrorism in the U.S. Back in October, after the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, President Barack Obama asked reporters to "tally up the number of Americans who've been killed through terrorist attacks over the last decade, and the number of Americans who have been killed by gun violence, and post those side by side on your news reports.”

Compiled using data collected from the New America Foundation, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Gun Violence Archive, an infographic created by ATTN: depicts those numbers in a pie chart.

The numbers clearly show that a conversation about gun reform is long overdue. The San Bernardino shooting is the second mass shooting this week. On November 27 a gunman opened fire at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, Colorado, killing three people and injuring nine, CNN reports.

As of now, officials in San Bernardino do not know the motive for why this center was attacked. The three suspects who allegedly attacked the center are still at-large.
