Mass killings in the United States are not inevitable.
If they would have the political courage to create a safety net of gun violence prevention laws, America's elected officials could help keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people and thus reduce the total number of killed and wounded by gunfire every year in this country.
Let's be clear: mass shootings are symptoms of a vastly larger gun violence problem in America that we enable by our inaction and inattention. Our nation suffers over 30,000 gun deaths every year, including 12,000 firearm homicides. That's 32 gun murders a day - the same number murdered at Virginia Tech two years ago on April 16.
