From the OP

 

“At Friday's press conference, Ms Baldwin, Raleigh's mayor, said the tragedy has "doubled our determination now to end senseless gun violence that is grips on our country and now on our city".

 

"We must stop this mindless violence in America," said North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper after the shooting. "We must address gun violence. We have much to do, and tonight we have much to mourn."

 

Fine words.
 

Let us hope they lead to action.
