Mass shootings have become a part of America's landscape.

This week, at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas; another elementary school. We've seen mass shootings at middle schools, high schools, community colleges and universities.

Just since 2000, mass shootings in this country have killed worshippers in churches, synagogues and a Sikh temple. There have been mass shootings on streets and in parking lots, in factories and post offices, airports, movie theaters, nightclubs, shopping malls and diners.

If you think, "That's enough, you've made the point," I'd have to say that the facts of all these killings year after year have not made a point. They go on.

Over the past few years, there have been mass shootings on military bases, in municipal buildings, at festivals, bowling alleys and spas. There have been mass shootings in states with strict gun laws, and states where a newly-18 year old can buy a gun, but not a beer.

There have been mass shootings in supermarkets - as in Buffalo just two weeks ago - in health care clinics and apartment complexes, nursing homes, trailer parks and subways.
