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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
