‘Completely Preventable’: Dayton Mayor Pleads Congress To Address Shootings


Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley (D) on Sunday pushed lawmakers to take action in the wake of a shooting in her city in Ohio that left 10 people dead earlier that morning.


Whaley told NBC News host Chuck Todd that the shooting was the second tragedy to hit her city this summer, the first being a devastating tornado.

“The difference is that one of these tragedies was completely preventable and one of these tragedies has happened now 250 times this year in our country,” she said. “And yet nobody can do anything about it.”

In the final moment of her interview, Whaley pleaded for Washington to do something to prevent future deadly shootings.

“How many cities have to go through mass shootings before somebody does something to change the law?” she asked.

Texas Republican lawmakers have responded to the shooting in El Paso (which occurred less than 24 hours before the Dayton shooting) by avoiding the topic of gun control and instead putting the blame on mental health and video games.

The gunman opened fire at a busy district in Dayton around 1 AM on Sunday, killing nine people and injuring over 20. He was fatally shot by the police. Authorities are still determining his motive.

"The 10-year ban was passed by the US Congress on September 13, 1994, following a close 52–48 vote in the US Senate, and was signed into law by US President Bill Clinton on the same day. The ban applied only to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. It expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision."



Blue President. Blue House. Blue Senate.
That's what it'll take to pass a bill like that again. As it stands now, it's pointless to even try to write this bill up. Moscow Mitch won't let it be. Now next year after the election may be a different story.

This looking rather 4chan-ish. Was this list purposely made for ""every person charge with or arrested for shooting 4+ people in a single incident" so they can technically say most mass shooters are black or latino and it mainly happens in Chicago?

Ummmm it’s going by the 4 different definitions of what counts as mass shootings.

There are many definitions of a mass shooting. Listed roughly from broad to specific:
Only incidents considered mass shootings by at least two of the above sources are listed.

So you did that to verify the veracity of that chart before posting it? Or are you assuming that's what he did and taking his word for it?
