Interactive timeline of mass shootings in the past 30 years. [View all]
http://timelines.latimes.com/deadliest-shooting-rampages/Scary stuff.
What's almost as disturbing as the events that I do recall (Luby's, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, Tucson, Sandy Hook) were the deadly shootings of which I only have a faint recollection or no recollection at all. None were insignificant events.
And they do appear to be getting more frequent.
We should not be settling for the status quo when it comes to these shootings, or simply brushing them off because they are statistically rare or assuming that they are things that are just going to happen.
