GUNS: Shootings are the new norm

| July 2, 2025 1:00 AM

Having resided in Coeur d’Alene for many years, I still remain in awe of its natural beauty. When I heard about the tragic shooting, I immediately thought of all of the wonderful people whom I met when I lived there.

I have come to the sad realization that, unfortunately, the shootings will continue unabated. This is the new norm. They are woven into the fabric of American life. We live in a society that essentially allows (and in some states, encourages) very easy access to a wide range of guns, including assault weapons which I thought were intended only for use in war.
