A female mass shooter is unusual, as school shooters are usually young men. The American people can’t again be fooled into playing the NRA and Republican Party’s game of pretending like this shooter was a bad apple lone wolf. The United States has a systemic mass shooting problem. The media will be drawn to the relative novelty of a female mass shooter, but the real issue is that six children and adults went to school in Nashville today and needlessly won’t be coming home to their families.
There have now been 129 mass shootings in the United States so far in 2023. It is time for America to stop mass shooters.
