As I am writing this, will we hear of a 200th mass killing in the United States this year? The 199th was at an outdoor shopping mall in Allen Texas. That is just a few miles from where one of our sons lives. And he has a person practicing with his rifle next door to him. No, it is not safe anywhere. Blaming people with mental illness is not the answer, particularly when mental health care is so hard to find. The slogan, "The only thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun" won't do. More gun violence compounds fear that causes a continuous rise in purchase of guns. The gun industry benefits and we all lose.
