Gunman kills four, then himself in Kentucky factory shooting

There was another shooting at a bottling factory in North Carolina two weeks ago.

Are shootings in the workplace becoming a more prevalent thing?

Why do mass shootings happen so often in the United States?

Ironically, the Supreme Court is to announce their decision today on banning hand guns in DC.

So one guy goes nuts and it's gonna be all over the press. Meanwhile their are millions of Americans that practice their 2nd amendment right with no incident.

One bad apple shouldn't spoil the bunch. With a corrupt government like we have now. The 2nd amendment is more necessary than ever before.
