@GottaLaff Sadly the daily mass shooting somewhere in America has become the norm, although most of us can say we did not experience it.

@Huntn00 I don't use the word "norm" or "normal" with gun violence. Ever. It's not normal, it's commonplace.

@GottaLaff I understand where you are coming from. This is semantics. When I use the term it is a condemning way, describing a pattern. It would certainly not be a word in this case to describe an acceptable standard. It’s a terrible standard/pattern that hopefully most people would not want, accept for the My Precious crowd, with lots of thoughts and prayers and all manner of excuses about why their liberty trumps dead children. 🤔
