I remember as a kid looking in on my parents watching the news as Walter Cronkite gave the daily numbers of dead and wounded for the war in Vietnam. It certainly feels like the US has come down to that level with domestic gun violence.

This is a daily occurrence and everyone has become numb to it. Of course that's what the gun industry wants, once daily gun violence becomes normalized their profits are safe.
