Police departments ramp up active shooter trainings after recent school shootings
FOX NewsAPR 2022
This kind of recurrent gun violence is a uniquely American epidemic. How many innocent victims must die before gun laws are reformed? The US has more guns than any other country — essentially one gun for every citizen — and one of the highest gun-related death rates. This madness needs to stop with better regulation, including limiting who has access and the types of weapons they own.
The anti-Second Amendment Gun Violence Archive likes to flash large quantities of so-called mass shootings in the hopes of persuading people to think there's a Columbine shooting every day. What these activist organizations don't mention is that almost all of these stem from gang disputes, neighborhood arguments, robberies, or domestic incidents that got out of control. Lone shooters indiscriminately killing students or hospital visitors account for less than 4% of them.
Another day in the United States, another mass shooting. And just like all the previous tragic attacks, nothing will change based on the empty rhetoric of both sides. Mass shootings have become a part of America's landscape, and neither the left nor the right has enough political willpower to change that.
