In late May 2022, less than a year ago, John Fea posted this roundup of coverage on guns and gun control on his blog.
This week unfortunately seems to be an appropriate time to add to this list. Below are links to feature essays at Current and blog posts at Way of Improvement Leads Home and Arena that focus on guns and mass shootings since last May. This list is not exhaustive, but the perspectives it provides will hopefully be helpful and thought-provoking. If nothing else, the mere existence of this list and the specific tragedies to which the essays and posts on it refer, is a mournful reminder of how common mass shootings have become in this country.
