274 Days, 294 Mass Shootings

Yesterday a shooter, now identified as a 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer, opened fire at Oregon Community College killing nine people and injuring seven others, before he was shot dead by the police who responded to the scene. It appears that Mercer, whose motive is still unknown, barged into a classroom and singled out Christians and then shot them. As the town of Roseburg reels from the carnage, do we still believe more guns are the solution to America's growing gun problem? "Somehow this has become routine, we've become numb to this... It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun," said President Obama of the attack.
