And as shocking as these events are, they are also not shocking.
because on average, 316 people are shot every day in America and 106 of them die. Gun violence is the number one killer of children in America. Eight in ten murders here involve a firearm. In a way, it’s only remarkable that we’re starting to notice.
This happens because we choose for it to happen. We have decided that it must. The National Rifle Association keeps pouring millions into the coffers of politicians, and those politicians get re-elected so we can’t have sensible gun laws. |

| 106 daily is approximately the number that died in traffic accidents in 2021 . Ban cars ? (actually do think they want us all on mass transit). Expect the "youths" number includes many late teen gangbangers . |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
