we're talking more shootings than days in each year.

Media go out of their way to ignore these stats and call this year's 103 mass shootings in 85 days "unimaginable." Proof that media's blind stupidity about guns in America is too real.

Media need to care about numbers and context information, not just "news."

Gun death is a public health emergency, imo.

Thanks for your post.
