    U.S. marks Memorial Day weekend with at least 11 mass shootings

    Since the Uvalde, Tex., elementary school tragedy, there have been at
    least 14 other shootings that had at least four victims

    By Annabelle Timsit

    "After a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Tex., that claimed
    the lives of 19 children and two teachers last week, many politicians,
    public figures and gun-control advocates said the U.S. government should
    ensure mass shootings could not happen again.

    But mass shootings have already happened again — and again. At least 14
    mass shootings have taken place across the United States since Tuesday,
    from California to Arizona to Tennessee.

    This Memorial Day weekend alone — spanning Saturday, Sunday and the
    federal holiday on Monday — there have been at least 11 mass shootings.

    As shootings mount, anger grows that it’s ‘happening over and over’

    These incidents, gleaned from local news reports and police statements,
    meet the threshold for mass shootings as defined by the Gun Violence
    Archive, a nonprofit research organization.

    GVA defines a mass shooting as one in which “four or more people are
    shot or killed, not including the shooter.” Several of those shootings occurred at parties, and one at a Memorial Day event."

    This happens in democrat run cities every day. I’d venture to say that none of these were remotely similar to Uvalde. Rather gang wars, drug deals gone wrong, family disputes, etc.
    I will continue to say it but thanks to and since LBJ, the family unit has
    been in decline and is the primary reason for most of these killings.
