EastTimes-Free Boston Press PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley PUBLISHER: Debra DiGregorio Forum EDITOR:: Cary Shuman PUBLISHER EMERITUS: John A. Torrone THE REAL AMERICAN CARNAGE Whenever a mass shooting occurs -- which is to say, fairly regularly somewhere in America these days -- in- vestigators scour for clues as to the “motive” of the gun- man. Often, as was the case in El Paso two weeks ago, the shooter espouses some sort of political ideology, whether it be homegrown white nationalism or foreign-based an- ti-Americanism. On occasion, individuals with mental illness are the perpetrators. But just as often, as was the case in the country music shooting in Las Vegas two years ago, there is no discern- ible motive, other than that the shooter simply is unhappy and frustrated with his lot in life. That appears to have been the situation with this past weekend’s shooting spree in Texas by a 36 year old man who was fired from his job and who was described by his neighbor as a loner. In short, the shooter fit a certain profile -- a young, white male with no money, no wife or girlfriend, no chil- dren, and no prospects. However, each and every one of these shootings, re- gardless of the perpetrator’s motive, have two things in common: Innocent Americans are being shot while going about their daily lives and the shooter had military-style weaponry that allowed him to kill and maim dozens of Americans with a single pull of the trigger. About 13,000 innocent Americans are slaughtered by uest p d guns every year in this country. (There also are about G O -E 26,000 suicides by guns each year). To put that 13,000 figure into perspective, that is almost twice the number of American soldiers who have been An unlikely ally in fight to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions killed in the entirety of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
