Another day in the USA another mass killing

Stories of mass killings in the USA stop being news when they occur with such inevitable frequency. Even the news services in the USA and here are beginning to run out of ways to respectfully report these tragedies without sounding as though, ‘here we go again’. As though it was a gruesome version of Groundhog Day, but without the light-hearted laughs.

Shortly after his inauguration Trump was caught up in round of defeats by each level of the judiciary as he attempted to implement the ban on Muslims from certain countries entering the USA. The rationale behind the ban was to protect US citizens from militant Jihadists whose only reason for entering America was to do harm to US citizens.

Well, maybe if Trump expelled all owners of assault weapons, or anyone who owned an arsenal of weapons and allowed in Muslims from the proscribed nations, there would be fewer casualties from lone, usually white, gunmen armed with war-zone standard weapons hell bent on slaughtering people.
