1,052 mass shootings in 1,066 days: this is what America's gun crisis looks like | US news | The Guardian

Given that the definition of a 'mass shooting' is four individuals shot and/or killed by one assailant, I can't help but ask in the face of this statistic:  

'How's that 2nd amendment right working out for you Americans these days?' 

It looks decidedly like a mixed blessing from this side of the border.

  1. And just how many of the shooters legally obtained their guns? Basically the guardian is saying that because criminals use guns law abiding citizens shouldn't have the right to self defense. That sure makes sense..not.

    and why can't I log in via Facebook or something real people have other than google?

    1. Anon: I don't know why you cannot log on with Facebook. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I'll research how to do that and implement it asap for the blog. Thanks!

    2. The change the guns laws. Australian did it, with a conservative Prime Minister, John Howard (http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2012/12/16/gun_control_after_connecticut_shooting_could_australia_s_laws_provide_a.html ). I'm afraid the gun lobby in the US and the gun obsession by a large percentage of the population may make that vey difficult in the US.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
