On St. Patrick's Day in Nevada and Georgia, eight people were injured in each of two mass shootings. The day before, one was killed and three injured in New Jersey. The day before that, four were injured and two killed in Alabama. Typical. Alabama has the second-highest gun death rate per capita, nationwide. The day before that, three were injured and one killed in Montana. And the day before that, three were injured and one was killed in Illinois. We don't hear about the "little" mass shootings. |

What about adding vehicle crash details in the same format? How many died before this day, how many died after this day? Where's the outrage over that? |

This is a poorly written article that is hard to follow. It is hard to believe that the author is an attorney. I hope that she is a better artist, because after reading the article it is apparent that she can't express her train of thought.
The only thing that is apparent is her anti-gun bias.

"Sensible policies" do not include violating fundamental rights enshrined and guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States.
"[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
