Three days. 10 mass shootings. More than 50 victims. US sees worst weekend of 2023

* Nine children were shot at Georgia gas station.

* Six people were killed in a Mississippi town.

* Eleven people were shot in Memphis.

* Five people were injured near a parade in New Orleans.

* Six people were shot on a Chicago expressway.

That's just half of the reported mass shooting violence over the weekend.

There were 10 mass shootings from Feb. 17 through Feb. 19 – the most of any weekend so far this year, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. That’s considering all shootings from Friday to Sunday in which four or more people were shot, not including the shooter or shooters.

We can't do anything about it until we have a Manchin-less majority in both houses.
