On St. Patrick's Day in Nevada and Georgia, eight people were injured in each of two mass shootings. The day before, one was killed and three injured in New Jersey. The day before that, four were injured and two killed in Alabama. Typical. Alabama has the second-highest gun death rate per capita, nationwide. The day before that, three were injured and one killed in Montana. And the day before that, three were injured and one was killed in Illinois. We don't hear about the "little" mass shootings. |

What about adding vehicle crash details in the same format? How many died before this day, how many died after this day? Where's the outrage over that? |

This is a poorly written article that is hard to follow. It is hard to believe that the author is an attorney. I hope that she is a better artist, because after reading the article it is apparent that she can't express her train of thought.
The only thing that is apparent is her anti-gun bias.

"Sensible policies" do not include violating fundamental rights enshrined and guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States.
"[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
