Same Questions and No Answers After Shooting at UNLV

Another mass shooting. This time four people shot at least three dead. 

This time it happened at a university as students scattered, hid and ran as a shooter opened fire at UNLV in Las Vegas.

The list of mass shootings in the U.S. continues to grow. Will it ever end?

Earlier this week there was a shooting in Texas. We wonder and worry where it will happen again.

And once again, we ask ourselves, how can this be, why do they happen, how do they happen, how do we prevent them, and when is enough, enough.

As the far too familiar tragic news of another shooting quickly spread, the debate over what to do about it and how to do it will intensify again, for a while, and then it will settle into what it usually settles into, a lack of much being done about it. Until the next mass shooting sparks the debate again. And so it goes, again and again.

And again, for the families of the victims of this latest mass shooting, and for the many other families of past mass shooting victims, the pain never fully ends.

And once again We can only hope and pray that maybe, just maybe one day, things will finally change.
