The shootings are the first mass killing in the U.S. since Jan. 23, which saw the last of six in a three-week period, according to an Associated Press/USA Today database. It defines a mass killing as four or more people dead, not including the perpetrator.

2. I Know A Sure Fire Way To Lower The # Of Mass Killings

Raise the requirement for the definition from 4 or more dead to 6 or more dead. That should work temporarily.

4. Sounds like a perfectly GQP solution

So much easier than annoying the NRA and drying up all those lovely campaign contributions.

And thoughts and prayers. Those are always good for pretending to care while doing nothing.
