Can we reduce mass public shootings?
By Charles Sullivan

Columbine High School, Columbine Colorado:13 murdered.

Lewiston, Maine: 18 murdered.

Robb Elementary School, Uvalde,Texas: 21 murdered.

Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut: 26 murdered.

These are some of the grim statistics of innocents slaughtered by a crazed person (or persons) using a firearm to commit his evil. Each of these acts of butchery meets the FBI’s definition of a “mass public shooting,” which is a shooting that occurs in public, does not involve another crime such as robbery, and results in the shooting deaths of four or more persons.

What do we know about the shooters, the victims, the place of the crime and the firearms used in these horrors? Can our knowledge of these things stop or reduce the likelihood of such horrors repeating in the future?

The answer is no.

I explained why in this post from 2019:
