Four are dead and nearly 30 people injured at a shooting at a Sweet Sixteen party in Dadeville, Alabama. Two dead and ffour injured at a crowded public park in Louisville, Kentucky - the scene of a recent mass shooting at a bank. Five people, including a police officer, were injured in Biloxi, Mississippi. One dead and three shot in Reserve, Louisiana One dead and 3 teens shot in an early shooting in the 9th Ward in New Orleans, Louisiana. And those are just the highlights of the rash of weekend shootings.
Listeners were eager to respond to my mention that guns are not to blame and more talk needs to center around the mental health of the shooters.
At one end of the spectrum - there are the mass shooters who use guns to manifest their anger and frustrations with life. At the other end of the spectrum there are the thug-minded youths who have been taught by their elders that they are nothing without a gun.
No matter how many headlines we see like this, nothing ever seems to get better. Could we be approaching an inflection point?
