...from the article at

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/21/14596819-three-killed-in-shooting-at-milwaukee-area-salon-suspect-found-dead-at-scene?lite

It was the second mass shooting in the Milwaukee area in just 2½ months. A gunman opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee on Aug. 5, killing six people and wounding at least three others, before being shot to death.

Three people were killed and a fourth was injured last week when a gunman stormed a hair salon in Casselberry, Fla. The gunman then killed himself.


So there was one mass shooting 2.5 months ago and one a week ago, then this one. Looks like it averages out to more than one a month already.

I know you're being sarcastic, but really, we're already there.
