Can’t tell the shooters without a program!
As deadly as it is exhausting and exasperating. Who has the vaccine for the pandemic of gun violence?
The New York Times can only muster a partial list of 2022 mass shootings in the United States. Counts bounce around. It’s hard to keep up.
Quick links from Steve Benen (Maddowblog) Tuesday evening:
* From early Saturday to late Monday — the Memorial Day weekend — there were at least 14 mass shootings in the United States: “Amid calls for gun control after last week’s massacre at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school, shots rang out across the country over the Memorial Day weekend, with more than a dozen mass shootings in the span of 72 hours.”
* On a related note, this was one of the 14: “Ten people were injured, four critically, and three law enforcement officials were hurt Monday night after gunfire erupted in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, according to police.”
* This morning’s shooting in New Orleans, however, was not part of the aforementioned list: “A woman was fatally shot and two men were wounded as gunfire erupted near a high school graduation venue in New Orleans on Tuesday, officials said.”
Another list:
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has had his fill and then some:
God knows who else got shot overnight.
