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) |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
