”Mass tragedy” in Australia
Sad news. I guess calling it a “mass tragedy” is supposed to take the attention away from the fact they just had a mass shooting in a country that is held up as the gold standard for gun control? As we all know, it’s not the guns doing this.

An Australian community is reeling from the deadliest mass shooting the country has seen in more than 20 years, after seven people, including four children, were discovered dead on a rural property near Margaret River.Authorities in Western Australia responded early Friday morning to a home in Osmington, not far from Perth, where the four children and three adults were found dead from gunshot wounds, according to local news reports.
The shooting has rattled Australia, where lawmakers passed some of the world's most restrictive gun-control laws after a 1996 massacre in Tasmania.
“ 'Shocking' is about the only word,” resident Felicity Haynes told 9 News Australia. “I just feel sick to the stomach. That couldn't happen here.”
I don't see this making much press. Kind of stumbled upon it.
