A tiny little town of 290 people was the site of America's latest mass shooting. A place called ARKABUTLA in northern Mississippi saw a 52 year old man go to a filling station and just shoot a guy he didn't know.
Then he went and killed his ex wife and another 4 people.
Cops chased him and caught him and have the fucker in custody.
A stunning stat is that so far as we are in the 49th day of 2023, there have been an astonishing 74 mass shootings in America so far!
That's around 2 mass shootings every 3 days!!
One thing that caught my attention was a 19 year old kid went to help a victim and he saw the gunman, "... so I drew my own pistol!"
I thought, do these guys just walk around with guns anyway, all the time?
And yes they do! A Texan Govenor has just written into law that it is now not a requirement to have a permit to carry a gun. In public.
You can go get your potatoes, your eggs, your cereal and your Smith & Wesson oh an don't forget your box of ammo.
In Texas you are now allowed to carry a gun in full view. it no longer has to be concealed, you don't need a permit and you don't have to have any training either. Last year Georgia became the 25th state to eliminate the need for a permit or to openly carry a firearm.
The US ratio of firearms to people stands at 120.5 guns per 100 people. Stunning!
In 2021 there were 49,000 gun related deaths in America.
and the final staggering stat is that.....
Around 53 people are killed each day by a firearm in the US.
And they still wont do anything about it!
