A gunman killed nine people last week at a rail yard in San Jose, Calif., before dying of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. There have been “at least 200 mass shootings in the first 132 days of this year,” Reuters reported, quoting data from the Gun Violence Archive. CNN, citing the same archive, said the San Jose shooting was the 232nd mass shooting this year, with 17 recorded in a single week in May. Meanwhile in Texas, lawmakers last week approved legislation that permits people to carry handguns without a permit and without instruction of any kind. Surprised? Don’t be. In 2015, our legislature said that guns could be carried on college campuses.
