(Photo regarding the mass shooting in El Paso is from CNN.com.)
On the 215th day of 2019, the United States saw its 249th mass shooting of the year (this time at a mall in El Paso, Texas). That's an average of 1.16 mass shootings per day.
Politicians, especially Republicans, offer nothing but useless "thoughts and prayers". That's political-speak for doing NOTHING to stem the tide of this epidemic.
The least that could be done is to outlaw all gun sales without a background check, ban the sale and possession of assault-style weapons, and ban sale and possession of large-capacity ammunition clips. The citizens support these constitutional restrictions. Demand politicians act, and vote those who refuse to act out of office.
NOTE -- Just 13 hours later the 250th mass shooting of this year took place in Dayton, Ohio!
