The NRA Monster

The figures speak for themselves. No, they cry out: Since the tragedy of Newton, Connecticut in December 2012, there have been at least 74 shootings in schools and other educational institutions in the United States. Not in parking lots of shopping centers, not in rowdy bars. In schools! Most were victims, of course.

Since the beginning of the year, our neighbors to the south have suffered almost 40 incidents, which means that the trend is continuing and even accelerating. Several firearm attacks are still making headlines these days, especially in schools or universities. The last one took place in a secondary school in Troutdale, Oregon.

That is the recent chronology. Going back a little further in time, we see that at least 200 young men (sometimes teenagers) have fired shots in the hallways and schoolyards of the United States between 1979 and 2011.

"Will we have to wait until there is an active shooter at every school in America before our lawmakers act?" wondered Sarah McDonald, president of the Oregon chapter for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
