I won't use it because that would imply it, but it feels like that's what is happening. When we have to be reminded that any time, anywhere can erupt into an "active shooter" situation, it's a serious problem. And we have an insane pro-gun organization that has infiltrated our government, aided and abetted by Russia, that is allowing it to happen.
