Every morning we get two death counts on the news. One is the number of civilians the Russians killed with their missiles, exploding drones, and artillery in the Ukraine War. The other is the number of Americans shot in just mass shootings. The mass shootings numbers are only those events with four or more people shot. Why is the American number often higher than the Ukraine?

            Is America an undeclared war zone? Is it the war against the people by the gun lobbies and manufacturers? We have had truces in the past which reduced the number greatly but they expired. Are our politicians too scared of losing the gun lobbies and their conned membership’s financial support? The fast majority of voters want Congress to pass laws on what guns civilians can own so why isn’t anything being done?

            Thirty people were shot at a block party one evening along with three other mass shootings. That day was just a blip in the news cycle over most of America. Have we become that numb and disinterested in mass murder in America? How sad!
