Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis. (infosec.pub)

This is what I tell people about why we'll never do anything about school and other mass shootings. We can get used to danger and death, and it'll just fade into the background as "normal." After all, we've done it with traffic violence.
