    The headline: 1 killed at an Ohio auto plant in the second workplace shooting in a day

    The link:
    Moraine, Ohio, shooting: Shooting at DMAX plant leaves 1 dead, 1 injured; suspect also dead | CNN

    The lede: "One person was fatally wounded and another hurt in a shooting at an Ohio automotive manufacturing plant Thursday, the same day two people were injured in a shooting at a Mississippi solar farm."

    The comment:
    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Once again our social programs, our laws and our level of law enforcement was unable to avert this shooting death.

    Deaths from gunshot, based upon data for 2020, occur roughly every 12 minutes in the United States of America.* Roughly 110-120 people will also die from gunshot today in the United States of America.

    The level of deaths by gunshot in the United States continues to rank high against other modern democracies. It is not a good thing to be 'exceptional' in this statistic.

    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    In the meantime, liberals are mass murdering each other in Chicago every weekend using illegal guns in one of the strongest gun law controlled cities in America.
    Chicago shootings: 23 shot, 1 fatally, in weekend gun violence across city, CPD says

    Hi, ricmortis.

    I've but a single question. Why post something that anyone with an interest in deaths by gunshot already knows?

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    To point out, once again, that gun bans don't work.

    Why do you post every single gun death that fits your narrative?

    Hi for the last time on this thread, ricmortis.

    My 'narrative' is that deaths by gunshot are tragedies. I cannot post every one that fits that narrative. that would be some 45,000 posts per year. As you can see, I have posted no where near that number of times on this site.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    So to counter the OP about gun deaths you post more gun deaths. Perhaps you could explain that logic?
