"...
Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
TX—In the hours following a violent rampage in Texas in which a lone
attacker killed at least 21 individuals and injured several others,
citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing
routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to
prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy,
but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do
to stop them,” said Idaho resident Kathy Miller, echoing sentiments
expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation
where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in
the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of
gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but
what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically
advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have
occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to
themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
