Something that occurs once a day--a sunrise, for example--is not news. For the last three years, America has averaged nearly two mass shootings a day. Most are not news. About 580 shootings a year are ignored by MSNBC.
What may be news is the quick rise of a new profession, victim counseling services. That's what Americans have in place of gun control, because we are--in terms of DNA--members of the chimpanzee family.
I am tempted to end all my sentences with "because we are chimpanzees." Like Americans, chimps have choices. They decide to do this or that. But they don't reason linguistically. They just react like a MAGA solid-bonehead shooting strangers.
"A new study shows that chimpanzees are like humans in another important way — their natural capacity for violence," according to the Harvard Gazette. But isn't it the other way around, that humans are like chimpanzees?
