America's deadly weekend of more mass shootings raise stakes for Senate gun talks
In
South Carolina and
Texas, victims were shot at a high school graduation party. In
Kentucky, funeral goers were hit outside a church. Multiple shooters sprayed a crowd with bullets in
Philadelphia. In
Chattanooga, Tennessee, shots rang out at a nightclub.
Just
America going about its normal business this weekend under the deadly daily shadow of
gun violence, as a staggering
10 mass shootings since Friday deepened trauma from recent massacres at a
Buffalo supermarket, a
Texas elementary school and a mass shooting at a
Tulsa, Oklahoma medical center.
The horrific new trail of death and injury, of broken families and mourning and fear, raised the stakes for the
Senate's latest effort to finally do something to stem the
shootings and massacres and the costs for yet another political failure.
