From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
America suffered another mass shooting on Saturday. This time it was in Pittsburg, where 46 year-old anti-semite Robert Bowers (armed with an AR-15 assault rifle and several handguns) shot 17 people (four police officers and 13 civilians) — killing 11 of them.
Sadly, this is not an unusual occurrence in the United States. While most mass shootings (where at least 4 people are shot) do not make the national news, they happen on an almost daily basis. In the first 300 days of this year, there have been at least 294 mass shootings. That’s 0.98 mass shootings per day — or about 29.4 every month. This doesn’t happen nearly as often in any other developed nation, and there is no rational reason why it should be happening here.
What is our government doing to stop (or at least reduce) these mass shootings?
