After last week's eleven dead's again 7 today 

It's what they do well....

Who cares until they start learning from this, thoughts and prayers means nothing.

The US can improve background checks, require gun safety training, prosecute those who handle or store guns in a reckless and dangerous manner, prosecute those possessing guns while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, register guns so police can confiscate guns in the possession of people who are not the registered owners, etc.

 

Or:

 

More guns!  Only good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns!

 

The most likely outcome is a lot of noise with nothing being done.

It could be ten times that, a hundred times even, and still there would be no meaningful  change.  Every country does stupid things and has serious blind spots, but this is ridiculous.

Since most are gang bangers, trash taking out the trash, not sure it's really a bad thing ????

Indiscriminate slaughter by a lone gunman blasting away at a store, school or some other public place is rare, according to a Washington Times analysis of the archive’s data, accounting for less than 4% of the total.

Somehow the term Mass shooting is being used for gang wars, robberies, home invasions and all other criminal activities. IMO the term is being used to push for gun control, problem is most of the shooters are criminals who don't follow the rules.

Just a few days into 2023, a man in Utah fatally shot his five children, his mother-in-law, and his wife and then turned the gun on himself.
