On 24 May 2022, a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and killed 21 people. In the year that has followed, at least 600 other mass shootings have taken place across the country.
The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as an incident where four or more people are killed or injured from gunfire, excluding the gunman.

This continues to break my heart. I wish that they ban purchase of all assault weapons. And BTW as per my own clinical research, tho combatants are highly trained to kill they disdain killing other humans. They do as a result of defensive and affiliative aggression. When their tour ends, they come home and are haunted by the ghosts of those they kill.

I'm curious, exactly what do you think is an "assault weapon" and why do you suppose that banning weapons based on what they look like would reduce the number of crazy people? Seriously, can you answer either of those questions (preferably without parroting lies and cherry-picking skewed statistics).

That's a reasonable question, PV2 Larry Sellnow, and I might be more inclined to consider it from someone who didn't choose to start out by insulting me by deliberately misspelling my name while it was right in front of him.
If you are concerned about "mentally unstable" people legally obtaining firearms perhaps you should take that up with the liberals who insist that there is no such thing as dangerous mental illness and that all these poor misunderstood individuals should be 'mainstreamed' to live "normal productive lives" in the community without restriction nor supervision.
