Shocking stats -- and still the NRA only doubles down

In the 18 months since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticutt, there have been 74 more incidents of gun violence in schools.   That averages out to 1.37 per week when schools are in session.

Further, it is widespread -- 31 different states have had school shootings.   Georgia has the worst record:   10 school shootings in those 18 months.

The NRA's answer continues to be:   Let's put more guns in schools so they can shoot it out, and let's take all restrictions off ownership and carrying privileges (except possibly felons and mentally ill people.)

I despair.
