America is averaging one mass shooting a day now (a mass shooting is one in which at least three people are killed). This morning we woke to the worst of them, at least 50 killed in Las Vegas last night by one nut armed with automatic weapons. The local police officers, according to witnesses, behaved heroically, as did other first responders, something to keep in mind.
There is no other western nation in which these massacres happen on a daily basis.
Nevada’s attempts at gun control are lax to nonexistent. The reason behind weak gun control is not to protect the right to hunt quail, as you probably know. Many Americans insist on the right to overthrow the government with small arms fire, even if that means arming lunatic native terrorists.
Once again we are left to sorrow.
