Some perspective from electoral-vote.com

This incident is getting front-page attention because of the ghastly human toll, but it is the 248th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, the 49th this month, and the 13th in the past week. And, incidentally, 27 of those have taken place at schools.

We are broken.
I refuse to accept it as hopelessly.
Though I don’t see an effective way forward.
