The seene of Highland Park's 4th of July Parade that was attacked, where a gunman killed seven and wounded 30.

Every day it seems like there are one or two mass shootings in America. Here is one more from today.

New Orleans police investigate after 5 shot during Bacchus parade According to police, the shooting happened in the 1600 block of Terpsichore Street. Those shot were a girl, a woman, and three other male victims. All of the victims were taken to area hospitals by EMS.

No doubt ultra-corrupt Republicans in congress will do their best to ignore this, like they always do.

Louisiana ranks 3rd among the states with the most gun violence.

States with the most (and least) gun violence. See where your state stacks up. 3. Louisiana Firearm deaths per 100,000 people: 21.2 per 100,000

Total firearm deaths 2016: 987 (suicides: 440, homicides: 526)

Violent crime rate: 566.1 per 100,000 (5th highest)

Permit required to carry handgun: Yes

Poverty rate: 20.2% (2nd highest)

I suspect the NRA (and their Republican retainers) won't be satisfied until all Americans are living in constant fear of gun violence.

Enough is enough!

Every Mass Shooting is a Republican Sponsored Event.
