Enough

Not much to say, really. It's hard to see beyond this.

This map does seem to show that there is a high correlation between stronger regulation of guns and less gun deaths. Maybe we should start calling the current rightwing Supreme Court "the Suicide Pact Tribunal." Apparently their judicial philosophy amounts to "just die." 

You probably know that most gun deaths -- despite the publicity rightly given to school shootings, etc -- are suicides.

Heavily regulated Illinois where there are strict-ish gun laws appears an outlier here -- until you remember it's surrounded by places where running around with guns is easier. We're one country, even if it doesn't feel that way some times.

Prayer does seem highly appropriate -- for the ongoing parade of victims of our folly, and for us all.
