FACT-O-RAMA! I use the same mass shooting standards and all relevant info as gunviolencearchive.com. A mass shooting is four people who have been shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation.
The nation celebrated our freedom from British tyranny with 25 mass shootings from June 30 until the morning of July 5. One-hundred-sixty-one people were ventilated, and 25 gave up the ghost.
Chicago (of course) kicked off the summer’s July 4 “Festival of Lead” celebration with a good, old-fashioned drive-by mass shooting that left one dead and three injured. The Windy City had a similar shooting days later, leaving one dead and four wounded after roughly 100 rounds were fired at an Independence Day party. Chicago’s top police officer claimed that the cops should have “done more” and broken up the party before the shooting, relieving the “gun nuts” of responsibility for spreading mad brass around Chicago’s Southside.
BLAST-O-RAMA! A person is shot in Chicago every 2 hours, 55 minutes, and one is murdered every 13 hours, 37 minutes.
The most dramatic mass shooting lack of impulse control occurred in Baltimore where two were killed and a whopping 28 were injured, most of them teens.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott — playing both sides of the racial coin — whined that white mass shootings get more attention than those committed by black folks.
I guess he doesn’t realize the Pravda press purposely hides the level of black mass shootings in the U.S. while trying to unscrupulously pin the majority of them on drooling, white men in MAGA hats despite overwhelming evidence that a vast majority of mass shootings are committed by black people.
“THEY” SHOT THEM-O-RAMA! A recent mass shooter in Philly is a BLM-lovin’ trans dude whom the press doesn’t want you to know about, so don’t read this article.
Fort Worth, Texas — refusing to be outdone by Chicago — racked up two mass shootings for a total of three killed and 12 wounded at their yearly Como Fest, a black celebration.
Many of the usual suspect cities, Indy, Cleveland, and D.C., chimed in and hosted a mass blasting.
Saint Ann, Mo. — not usually home to mass shootings — was the scene of a domestic murder-suicide when a man killed his girlfriend and her three kids before graciously eating a bullet himself.
Philly played host to the shooting with the most fatalities with five killed and two injured.
Detroit and St. Louis, the two blue cities that frequently slug it out for the honor of being called the “murder capital,” were suspiciously absent from the mass holiday shootouts.

My passion is collecting old British Lee-Enfield rifles. Reading books on Lee-Enfield rifles, investigating their proofmarks and regimental markings, and exploring their developmental history is all part of the fun.
Several years ago, at a gun show, I purchased a somewhat rare Australian Lithgow No. 1, Mk III* club rifle. During the interwar period, owners of No. 1, Mk III* rifles would have gunsmiths install heavy barrels, remove the standard rear sights and install Central or Motty peep sights. The front sights were modified to be adjustable and were held in place with a set screw. Triggers were also re-worked. These gunsmiths would finally install a new top handguard, covering where the leaf sight once was, and re-finish the metal.
The club rifle I purchased has all of these fine qualities. It was re-stocked to accommodate a new rear sight, has a very smooth trigger pull and is beautifully blued. It is fitted with a rear peep sight from Central Mfg. What makes this rifle special to me is the small metal tag tacked to the right side of the buttstock that reads: “John Brennan Concord R.C.” (R.C. meaning rifle club).
Curious to see if I could find the original owner, I sent an email to the New South Wales Rifle Ass’n. About a month later, I received a letter from a Mr. Abbott, who belonged to Concord Rifle Club and knew Brennan. He said they had competed back in the 1960s, and that Brennan had since passed. Abbott was pleased to know I had one of his acquaintance’s rifles. He remembered when Brennan had my particular rifle worked on. He also said Brennan was a fine shot and a club treasure.
Needless to say, my club rifle shoots very well and will stay in my collection.
