Time magazine's striking cover lists the 253 US cities that experienced a mass shooting this year

"TIME's new cover: 'We are being eaten from within.'

Dayton. El Paso. Gilroy. Virginia Beach. Chesapeake. Those are just a handful of the 253 US cities listed on Time magazine's latest cover, which hits newsstands on Friday. What all of those cities have in common: Each experienced a mass shooting this year.

The cover comes after a weekend of deadly mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, and as calls to do something about gun violence and domestic terrorism ramp up again. San Francisco Bay Area artist John Mavroudis drew the cover, calling it a "frightening portrait of a country drowning in gun violence."

Against the backdrop of the list of cities, the word "ENOUGH" is emblazoned across the cover in capital letters. The theme is similar to last year's cover featuring survivors from the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Under it, the text reads: "A year of gun violence in America. So far."

Must be part of Trump's plan to "Make America Great Again".
