The Hill: Gun Violence Caused by Despair, Isolation

Unsplash

Check out an interesting, nuanced take on gun violence in a guest column in the normally kinda-right-leaning The Hill. John Mac Ghlionn writes that isolation and despair cause people to act out with guns, and that “the conversation around guns, like everything else in American life, has become tribal. Each shooting hardens the divide… Lost in the shouting are the victims, and the slow-burning despair that breeds the next killer.”
