10 mass shootings over easter weekend this the paradise the NRA wanted? Where are All those with their thoughts and prayers? Two mass shootings alone in s.c. this country is sick.https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/18/us/us...end/index.html
To answer your thread question, they are at home not shooting people.
What used to be two guys arguing over a girl ending in a bloody nose has turned into one guy shooting at the other and 20 other people pulling out guns and joining in. Just too, too many guns out there in the hands of hothead kids and irresponsible people. And it gets worse by the day.

“Rickenmann’s election marks a change in Columbia’s politics,” The State reported. “While city seats are nonpartisan, Columbia has been led by Democratic mayors for more than 30 years — Bob Coble for 20, and Benjamin for the last 11. Rickenmann is a Republican.”
For the most part these shootings involve drug gangs using illegal guns.
What you're doing is actually carrying water for the people that don't want to address the expensive and sensitive underlying socio-economics and instead blame an easy target, their political rivals.
Article blames "ease of gun access". Heck there is ease of gun access all across "NRa country" and they have gun violence as a fraction of the areas playing the blame game.
Oh wait, maybe if we just made those drugs illegal they wouldn't be able to have money to buy guns! Thus full circle, the ridiculous argument that restricting guns will keep them out of the hands of the most prominent offenders.
for the most part people have ignored root causes and have gone round and round their favorite pet peeve for my whole life...
there is a an answer to the crime/violence problem and discussion goes else ware (hint look at prohibition and the rise of chi-cage gangsters)
We are the only country on earth where this sort of carnage goes on day after day, week after week. Obviously there are alternatives.
But with the present interpretations of the 2nd Amendment, it can't be. We are going to have to live with it until we decide enough is enough - if that day ever comes.
