23? Incredible.

"At least 23 people were injured after gunfire erupted at an Oklahoma lake party – the latest in a trio of shootings involving teens or young adults over the weekend across the US. The chaos unfolded around 9 p.m. at a campground near Arcadia Lake, about 13 miles north of Oklahoma City, Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward said. The victims suffered injuries “ranging in severity, including gunshot wounds,” Edmond police said in an update Monday. A local health system said 13 people were hospitalized Sunday."

The attack is among more than 130 US mass shootings with four or more victims this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. "Gunfire has killed at least 278 youths ages 12 to 17 so far this year, with another 796 injured, according to GVA."

I don't think the Founders foresaw rapid mass fire weapons. And, if they did, they would not have been worried so much about "infringement" of gun rights.

Give me a plan that protects public safety and protects sensible gun owner rights. I own handguns and long arms, so I am concerned about safety as well as ownership.
