“LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. is setting a record pace for mass killings in 2023, replaying the horror on a loop roughly once a week so far this year. The carnage has taken 88 lives in 17 mass killings over 111 days. Each time, the killers wielded firearms”
“The bloodshed represents just a fraction of the fatal violence that occurs in the U.S. annually. Yet mass killings are happening with staggering frequency this year: An average of once every 6.53 days, according to an analysis of The AP/USA Today data.”
“Experts and advocates decry the proliferation of guns in the U.S. in recent years”
“We have to know that this isn’t the way to live,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “We don’t have to live this way. And we cannot live in a country with an agenda of guns everywhere, every place and every time.”

I know this is a useless topic in forums as this given the gun huggers desire to live “in a country with an agenda of guns everywhere, every place and every time,” but the reality happens so often now, it can not be completely ignored
If more guns actually made us safer, it would follow given that the the sheer number of guns already out there in America, we should be the safest developed nation in the world, but in fact, the opposite is true
