7 shootings in 7 days. Does not matter where you are. Drive through might be the safest way to pick up food. Rather than going in a store.

(there are Republican laws in effect stopping us from using gov't money to catalog and study gun killings)
Monday, March 22
Boulder, Colorado
Ten people, including a Boulder police officer, were killed in a shooting at the King Soopers supermarket, according to police.

It's unclear how this number of mass shootings compares to an average week in the US.
Though some official gun violence data is available, the US federal government does not have a centralized system or database to track firearm incidents and mass shootings nationwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tracks some gun violence data, nearly 40,000 people were killed in incidents involving firearms in 2019

NRA celebrating their March victory
https://twitter.com/fred_guttenberg/sta ... 4852363266

"What happened in Colorado yesterday was predictable & preventable. This is why we have to stop the NRA. Boulder had passed an ordinance banning assault style weapons. Six days ago, the NRA blocked that law from enforcement through a lawsuit. They called it Victory in Colorado."

Muslim that grew up in CO, sore loser:

On Facebook, his politics appeared mixed throughout several camps. He shared an article rebuking Donald Trump’s stance on immigration, but also posted about his own opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

Authorities have not released a motive behind the grisly murders, saying the investigation was still in its preliminary stages and “it is premature for us to draw any conclusions at this point in time.”

I know this is a deliberate Republican policy, and that any true collation of the facts about gun violence would be anathema to the NRA and others. Heads firmly in the sand. If we don't talk about it, it's not real... :roll:

Surely, if he's not a Muslim then thoughts and prayers should be enough?
