    This really shocked me.

    It is almost 6 months gone this year,and this caught my eye.

    After 152 Mass Shootings In 2017, It Took An Attack On Congress To Get Our Attention.

    That is in less than 6 months this year.

    Story.

    Less than half a YEAR,and so many killings we almost can't keep up with them.

    Re: This really shocked me.

    On one hand, the headline is clickbait and potentially deceptive. Mass shooting is not a standardized term and depending on how one defines it, you get things like the examples in article where one count is over 150 mass shootings this year and another is count is 4 mass shootings this year. On the other, near 7000 gun deaths in six months (excluding suicides) is disturbing as hell.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      The one thing that I find disturbing is it is becoming so common,that we begin not to even be shocked(OH,another one) To not even react anymore is frightening in so many ways.
