There is no safe place in America. This July 4th weekend up to the morning of the fourth, 15 people died. This year between January and May 13,900 people died in gun violence.
“There have been more than 550 mass killings since 2006, according to the AP/US Today database, in which at least 2,900 people have died and at least 2,000 people have been injured.”
Among those events have been shootings at schools, concerts, graduations, super markets, movie theaters, parades, restaurants, night clubs, etc, etc, etc,
The mass shooting numbers don’t include the now legal category of people shooting others because they thought they were being threatened. The other person could be unarmed, without intent to cause harm or threaten but because the shooter felt he was being threatened there was a chance for acquittal of all charges.
You may recall Travon Martin the youth going home from a local store in Florida who was chased and abused by a man following him. When he faced the man and acted to force the guy to stop his abuse, he was shot and the man later cleared of all charges. Legalized murder,
No one is safe.
Medicynical Note: And in all, our erudite scholarly originalist dominated Supreme Court benignly approves of guns everywhere for everyone—except of course the demonstrators near their home. Somehow believing this was what the founders had in mind. And our pathetic congress remains it’s ineffective self, benignly looking elsewhere in hopes of being non-controversial. Not wanting to offend the gun lobby.
We’ve failed.
