Only 13 mass shootings in the last 56 years? What is your source for this claim? Please consult the May 26, 2022, Business Insider listing of the 30 deadliest mass shootings in US history (https://www.businessinsider.com/deadliest-mass-shootings-in-us-history-2017-10 ). At least 28 of the shootings listed occurred in the last 56 years—one was exactly 56 years ago, and another was before that—and none of them involved inner-city gang violence. The list is limited to shootings with 10 or more fatalities; if it had included those with 4 or more fatalities, it would have been even longer. While I agree that we don’t want to inflate the problem, neither should we deflate it. BTW, I own a firearm, and support the right of most citizens to own firearms—and I also support Saul’s recommendations.
