Well regulated militia strikes again

A dad shot and killed his three children in Ohio.

They were ages 3, 4 and 7.

In 2023 so far:
Deaths due to gun violence 19,519
Mass shootings 295
Children under 18 murdered 810

This won’t stop on its own.

It’s the guns.

I'm guessing the father was both seriously mentally ill and deeply religious (same same) and believed his version of "heaven" was better than their lives in the US.

Émile Durkheim wrote about such problems and the conditions that cause said problems in his 1897 book "Le Suicide: Étude de sociologie." Want to understand what's happening to the US today? Read that century old book.
