If you regularly read any stories about mass shootings or the various murders that happen by the thousands each year you will have noticed that the phrase of the day is “gun violence”**. The way it is written you would think that gun violence is a sentient, malevolent force that goes around in urban areas causing guns to spontaneously open fire on unsuspecting and of course invariably innocent people. Gun violence is like lightning or tsunamis, a force of nature.
Given how many “news” stories I read that deal with shootings, I see phrases like “rising gun violence” or “the scourge of gun violence” it seems dozens of times each day. Politicians and “community activist” types are endlessly rending their garments and moaning about how we need to Do Something™ about gun violence.
