I haven't heard of that but I did hear that one young man took a fatal
bullet to save his girlfriend there. It really makes me sad to think
this is almost becoming a common event and whereas before I had no
opinion on gun control, I do now but I'll save it for a rainy day.

Mass shootings are not that "common an experience" as you imagine
This is a far more common experience. Nearly 4 times as common, and no one
blathers on about these ?

Not common yet...as I said " becoming common" but maybe I should have
said "becoming MORE common" as each year goes by.

I doubt that they are becoming "more" common
But hey, I'll be happy to look at any data to support your claim
