Our Mounting Multiplicity of Massacres 0

Gina Barreca thinks it’s time to stop with the double-talk about America’s recent spate of racist, bigoted mass shootings, most of them by young white men, boys even. Here’s a tiny bit of her article:

Mass shootings, as demonstrated by the recent killings in Buffalo, must be discussed but do not have to be sanctified by respectful rhetoric.

This is not about mental health; this is about guns, race, anti-Semitism, misogyny, ignorance, and social media. They get onto distorted and deforming social media platforms and then—whoosh, they are gone—down the drain of cults, 4Chan, and conspiracy theory.

Yet another responsible gun owner discharges his responsibility.

Yet another child is introduced to politeness.

And our society moves one more step to failure.

Share your politeness with your loved ones.

Investigators say the accidental shooting happened around 12:20 p.m. Monday. They believe he got the gun from an uncle.

“An uncle was visiting the residence. He does not normally live there, and he had a gun. The 9-year-old male found the gun and accidentally discharged, striking the 4-year-old in the head,” said Major Susan Cotter of Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

And again we are reminded that the elusive “responsible gun owner” is a creature of myth.
