But it’s also true that just this week, more than 280 Americans have been shot and 99 killed [source: Gun Violence Archive]. That’s the truth hiding in plain sight in headlines like that one from the Philadelphia Inquirer: that the daily toll of gun violence, often concentrated in cities, adds up to nothing less than a mass shooting. This daily gun violence demands our attention, because this Thursday is certainly anything but average for the families, friends and communities of the dozens of Americans shot this week. And next Thursday won’t be for the dozens more who will surely lose their lives before then. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
