Reigning With Fear

Ideas after wiping American tears. This could happen to anyone near and dear to us while USA politicians continue reigning with fear.
Americans have experienced over hundreds of mass shootings, including dozens of school shootings. WHY?
As a dad, grandpa, a journalist, a communications educator, and a former area resident, it makes me feel sick inside to think that a couple of hundred children, teachers, and other innocent Americans have lost their lives during mass shootings since the Millenium, according to gun violence databases.
