Washington Post editorial lists mass shooting victims in call for McConnell to 'do something'
By Justin Wise - 09/04/19 09:38 AM EDT
In the wake of a recent spate of mass shootings, The Washington Post editorial board is calling for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to take action on gun control when the upper chamber returns from its summer recess.
The board published a piece on Tuesday that listed the victims from a number of mass shootings that have occurred since the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado left 15 people dead, including the perpetrators.
Pointing to massacres, including the most recent mass shooting that occurred in West Texas last weekend, the board pleaded with McConnell to take up legislation to address gun violence.
"Do something, Mr. McConnell," the newspaper's print headline reads.
