Charlotte Maloney’s excellent letter (“Gun owners would not be punished by legal limits,” Aug. 31) noted that ”The one common denominator in every single mass shooting is the gun.”
There is actually one more common denominator: According to Statistica, 98% of mass shootings between January 1982 and August 2019 were carried about by males.
