mass shooting are happening way to often.
For those of you old enough to remember Columbine, it was a shock to the whole country. It dominated the news for weeks and people were talking about it in every corner of the country for months.
There were events and TV specials about it on the first anniversary.
Fast forward 18 years and now it is seemingly common place. There is no longer any shock when it happens, now people are like "oh, damn another one". By the end of the weekend if not before this will not even be a blip on the radar for the news.
