Letter: ‘No Way To Prevent This’
(John Minchillo | AP Photo) Mourners embrace after bringing flowers to a makeshift memorial Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019, for the slain and injured in the Oregon District after a mass shooting that occurred early Sunday morning, Aug. 4, 2019, in Dayton, Ohio.
Each week when I see and hear the news of the latest mass shooting, I can’t help but recall the all-too-frequently run headline from The Onion: “'No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”
It has long since ceased to seem funny.
