January 2023 has passed. But not without 39 mass shootings, including three in the same week in California, a state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the United States.
Gun-related deaths, both suicides and homicides, rose markedly during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are many other contributive factors: mental illness, broken families, addiction, crime, drugs and drug trafficking, illegal immigration, defunding of police forces, oversaturated mass and social media coverage, declines in faith and values, polarized politics, tribalism, etc.
Is America cracking up? It almost makes you want to buy a gun.
