5 dead in New York.
Officer giving presser, "We are shocked" (implying that things like that never happen in that area)
I wish officials and reporters would stop saying shit like that. Firearm violence happens everywhere because guns are everywhere. Mass shootings are simply one category of firearm violence, but that doesn't make a single firearm murder, or a single suicide any less dead.
I live in a rural county, but even here I hear about firearm violence in my county on a weekly bases, even if it isn't a "mass shooting". Just last week in the next county over from me 3 people ended up dead over a shootout at a house party.
"STOP BEING SHOCKED AND START FUCKING CHANGING OUR LAWS".
Changing laws is a non-starter unless you change gun culture first.

I agree. For 40 years we had Wayne La P Asshole, selling Rambo and Dirty Harry. I think things are slowly changing though. The NRA is on the ropes, and hopefully it will die as a lobby entity.
