#217 Latest US School Shooting
Another school shooting in the United States today. I kid you not, I’ve lost count of how many there have been this year alone. I had to look it up and according to the Education Week website, there’s been 13 school shootings this year. We’re only at the end of March. Last year in the US, there were 51 school shootings
resulting in injuries or death.
I cannot comprehend America’s abhorrent response to mass shootings in general. I bet you didn’t know in the United States there’s been 28 mass shootings just this month. Three in the last three days.
While many American’s wonder why nothing is done to combat this oh so American thing, it would appear lawmakers, politicians and some companies are beholden to the gun lobby. The all powerful National Rifle Association, or as I’d prefer to call them, the RKC… Redneck Kill Club.
I don’t usually cover these sorts of stories because it really feels like I’m wasting my breath. I feel a small fraction of the helplessness of the victims and their
family and friends, but I wanted to play you this audio captured by Fox News of a woman at the scene of the latest school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. She
asked the question that politicians and lawmakers should be asking themselves.
