They haven't finished burying the children in Uvalde, and every day the toll of victims of easily-accessible guns grows. Just yesterday:
"Four people were killed in a shooting at a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Wednesday. Police said a gunman carrying a rifle and a handgun opened fire on a hospital campus just before 5 p.m. local time, wounding several others before the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Just before, the Los Angeles Police Department said shots were fired outside Grant High School in the Van Nuys neighborhood. Authorities said an unknown gunman fired three or four shots from a vehicle. A 10th grader was shot in the leg and taken to the hospital. The extent of injuries was unclear.
Across the country, police said a 20-year-old woman was shot at a nail salon in Pittston Township, Pennsylvania, in what police said was an 'attempted homicide.' The woman was taken to an area hospital, and the extent of her injuries was unknown. A suspect was in custody later Wednesday evening."
These numbers aren't remarkable; since the beginning of the year, there have been 233 mass shootings (4 or more people killed) in the U.S., and have resulted in the deaths of 152 children ages infant to 11 years old. Every nation has people with violent tendencies and mental issues, or substance abuse problems. Violent video games are accessible internationally over the internet. But no other nation comes anywhere near those obscene numbers because of the availability of guns, primarily assault style rifles.
