Recently the States were averaging almost two mass shoutings a day in 2023. Before long we may see that average of two a day. One day recently there were three or four; another ho-hum. It gets worse with every loosening of gun laws and more ststes are moving that way.

It’s horrifying and it saddens me. Sorry, it’s on my mind as I read the day’s news and a mass shouting is the first story that pops up.

Firearms are now the top cause of death in US children, and rising fast.
