All deaths are tragic, but given that violence overall has been falling for decades, at the same time that gun ownership is increasing, I find it difficult to attribute the violence to firearms rather than to social factors.
I often think about how many of these deaths would be prevented if we took all the 'anti-gun' money and poured it into our health care system to support people with mental illnesses.
