My heart goes out to those poor people killed or injured by another angry man with a rifle. On a day of celebration they were attacked for some so far unknown reason.

I know it is not guns that kill, it's people. But giving those that want to kill people easy access to guns makes it a lot more likely to happen.

Here are some frightening stats about gun deaths in the USA.

Firearms deaths are a fixture in American life.There were 1.5 million of them between 1968 and 2017 - that's higher than the number of soldiers killed in every US conflict since the American War for Independence in 1775.

In 2020 alone, 45,222 people died from gun-related injuries , whether by homicide or suicide, more than any other year on record. The figure represents a 25% increase from five years prior, and a 43% increase from 2010.

24,300 suicide 19,400 homicide

I know the genie is well and truly out of the bottle, and have no idea how it could be solved..

When the news showed a picture of the shooter and said

"wore women's clothing during the shooting to conceal his identity"

I can guess where it may be heading. Possibly another excuse for trans bashing.

There is little information about the suspect yet, but if it turns out he is trans who knows ?

Hopefully is was just a disguise to escape.
