More Mass Shootings than Number of Days in 2023 So Far.
WTF America?
Jesus Christ. We’ve got two cases where some idiot just fired his weapon without reason, seriously wounding or killing the victims.
First case involved a black teenage boy who knocked at the wrong door – literally. He was provided an address by his mother to pick up his siblings but ended up at the correct house number – wrong street. The old guy who lived there responded by shooting, seriously injuring the child.
Second case was very similar. A car simply was pulling into a driveway in order to turn around. Owner of the house walked out onto his porch and shot, killing one of the occupants.
These two cases don’t fit the criteria of a mass shooting, and are in addition to the fact that there have been more mass shootings than the number of days. Today marks the 108th day of the year, or as those familiar with Julian Dates, today’s date is 23108. According to gunviolencearchive.org, we have had 164 mass shootings this year alone.
How long before we decide to do something about this, other than to say “It’s the person’s fault, not the gun?”
How long before we decide to do something about this, other than to say “It’s the person’s fault, not the gun?” What’s the solution? I don’t know. What I do know is that what we are currently doing is not it. I’m a gun-owner. I’m not about abolishing the right to bear arms, but there has to be something we can do to effectively reduce these tragedies.
