Mass shootings more common since 1960s By MATT CRENSON, AP National Writer
15 minutes ago

Mass public shootings have become such a part of American life in recent decades that the most dramatic of them can be evoked from the nation's collective memory in a word or two: Luby's. Jonesboro. Columbine.


When you look at the list I posted, its very clear that over the past 20 years, the number of shootings is occurring at a greater frequency. And its not just about gun laws.....its about what's very wrong with this society........the insipid decay that is effecting everyone. The young are like the proverbial canary in the cave......they are the early warning signs that we are going the wrong way.

And what successful, civilized society would ignore such a disturbing trend as the one we have going? One that is in decline? Yes, I think so.

The fact that the stupid wingnuts have the unmitigated gall to suggest that the best solution would be to arm everyone with guns exemplifies how far we have fallen.
