The 911 calls about tonight’s deadly shooting in Ames, Iowa, began coming in two minutes after Biden concluded his gun violence remarks at the White House tonight.

2. Dare I say this is hardly news?

Another day, another mass shooting. Yawn.

Yeah, I'm being sarcastic here, but perhaps we all need to stop acting even remotely surprised every time a new mass shooting occurs. It's a bit like being surprised that the sun rises in the east.

5. Yeah, And Only 3 Dead Doesn't Even Qualify It As A Mass Shooting, Which Requires 4

It's probably asking too much for the news to simply start ignoring them to an extent.

"Today in Texas, 19 Kids & 2 Teachers were killed. Now here's Tom with tonight's Weather."

6. I think the standard is four casualties, not necessarily four fatalities

4. Pittston, PA, yesterday; Ames, IA, today--both places where I spent significant chunks of my

childhood. (Dad was born in Pittston.)

There are so many mass shootings that I expect that eventually all of the many places I lived while growing up will suffer a mass shooting.

7. Conservatives' "wild wild west" fantasies are finally coming true...

8. Horrible. Schools, hospitals, funerals, churches

One week.

9. The US is a giant deadly game of Russian roulette every day.

Anyone can be killed at any moment.

10. Is it safe to assume lots of thoughts and prayers were actively being sent at the time??

11. This country is circling the bowl.

12. Keep voting for Republicans at all levels of government if you want more of this, OTHERWISE

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS IN ALL LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS.

13. It's obviously Biden's fault.
