""The phrase “mass shooting” (most often defined as four or more firearm deaths in one incident) was barely a part of our vocabulary 23 years ago. When I hid with dozens of classmates in a choir teacher’s office at Columbine High School, I would never have dreamed my nightmare would become America’s new normal. But now mass gun violence in the United States happens with breathtaking frequency."
Mass shootings are not the new normal. They are still very rare in a nation of 330 million. Rare enough that the Uvalde shooting still is leading many news pages.
Notice how the weekly shootings in Chicago aren't even considered news worthy any more.

Anymore? Have they ever been a common topic amog leftist media sources? No, of course not. If the media was to cover the most prevelent gun threats, they'd have to highlight the people who are pulling the triggers and not just the guns. It's just like all the anti-Asian hate crimes around the country... mostly one group of racists (not white people) who get a pass because it would destroy the narrative we've been force fed for decades.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
I find it somewhat puzzling that a SURVIVOR speaks out (from decades past) and u (collectively) discount
his experience/his POV and blatantly "gas light" the guy. The denial involved in this exchange is breath taking in it's YOU WERE NOT THERE,so how could u possibly grasp the gravity of the horror?? Living in your Head is one thing, being present on the scene is another.
