I realize this is a divisive issue, but it's clear that these horrific incidents are going to keep happening with shocking regularity. It seems we've all collectively shrugged our shoulders and accepted it as the reality going forward.

It's cute that you think they're spaced out by a whole month 😅

Yeah, that's the bit that got me.

Usually about once in incident every 90 seconds. That's why we have to only talk about "mass" shootings, as if you count incidents with fewer than 3 victims it becomes unmanageable.

So what magic solution have you come up with that I should be doing?

I vote, I don't own a gun, I try to help people where I can. If you say "Riot" then "You first", because rioting alone just gets you killed.
