Many people are not deterred by the coronavirus pandemic and the "stay-at-home" orders. They continue to hold parties and they continue to use their guns to shoot others.

A mass shooting is a shooting that leaves at least four people dead, not including the gunman. In the last 30 days, there have been 45 mass shootings in the United States. Congress needs to act.

Yesterday six people were shot at a child's birthday party in New Orleans. Today a man is on the run after shooting and killing three people in Austin. Congress needs to act. Too many people have too many guns.

Once again, a party for someone's birthday turned into a death day for several people. No place in the United States is safe. No place.

Memorial Day weekend and another mass shooting. Three men with assault rifles and handguns. When will Congress take action? Never?

This is outrageous! A federal judge has overturned California's ban on assault weapons, a ban which has been in place since 1989. He compared the AR-15 assault rifle to the Swiss army knife! And of course he cited the Second Amendment while completely ignoring the part about a "well-regulated militia" and ignoring the large number of mass shootings committed by gunmen armed with assault weapons. California will appeal the ruling. In 2020, this same judge blocked a California law requiring background checks for anyone buying ammunition.

The shooters at Sandy Hook Elementary, the Texas church, the Pittsburgh synagogue, the Colorado movie theater and the Las Vegas music festival all used assault rifles. Nobody but the military should be allowed to have them.

Another shooting. One of the dead is a child.

Among the shooting victims are a two-year-old, a four-year-old and a 13-year-old. The United States of America is the "land of the guns and the home of the shootings."

As the nation marks the fifth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, it has a staggering and grim new statistic to contend with for 2021. So far this year, we have suffered 267 mass shootings. That's the new tally after four incidents occurred across the country between Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning. Gunmen killed at least two people and injured at least 34 more in Austin, Dallas, Savannah and Chicago.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals today blocked the federal judge's decision to overturn California's assault weapons ban. This will probably wind up before the Supreme Court.
