Unrelenting bloodshed across the U.S. this year has led to the grimmest of milestones: The deadliest six months of mass killings recorded since at least 2006.

From Jan. 1 to June 30, the nation endured 28 mass killings, all but one of which involved guns. The death toll rose just about every week.

      criminals, not known for obeying laws, are unlikely to surrender their firearms.

      good luck legislating the problem away though!

        yeah all those mass shootings conducted by people with the occupation of “criminal”. Driving everywhere on the wrong side of the road, stealing everything, punching babies. Mowing down school kids was just on their typical criminal docket for the day. If it’s illegal, they’re gonna do it, cus they’re immune to laws.

        Yeah, there’s no perfect immediate solution, so let’s just give up on solving the problem.
