The back-to-back massacres illustrate what, for many, feels like a near constant drumbeat of mass shootings in America. Already, in the first 24 days of the year, there have been at least 39 mass shootings nationwide, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks gun violence and defines a mass shooting as an event in which four or more people are shot or killed.

In California, the pace has felt especially unrelenting. Last week, gunmen killed six people in Tulare County, including a 16-year-old and her 10-month-old child. Then, on Saturday, there was the Monterey Park shooting that killed 11. Less than 48 hours later, the massacre in Half Moon Bay happened.

We must end these deaths, and we can if we act as a unified pressure group, quietly and constantly stating our case.

Gun rights are a wedge issue of wealthy or corporate interests to undermine the government of the people.

‘Open carry and stand your ground’ gun laws are from ALEC. The American Legislative Council. This council has enormous power among Republicans all over America. This council will fight to protect the right of any individual to own a gun.
