Four people were killed on Friday in a shooting at a Montana bar, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched a wooded area for a suspect in the case.

The shooting brought the number of mass murders so far this year in the US to nine, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-partisan resource which defines such cases as killings in which four or more victims are killed.

All those mass murders were shootings, and four have occurred in a 30-day period beginning 2 July. It was the US’s second mass murder since Monday, when a man attacked a New York City skyscraper housing the National Football League’s headquarters and shot four people dead before dying by suicide.

    Let’s ban more guns so that we’re helpless when Trump sends the gestapo for us.

    Right, my fellow Democrats? (I vote Democrat but take issue with this.)

      Um… the Gestapo is already coming for you and I still don’t see your guns helping…

      If you were putting your money where your mouth was, I’d be backing you 100%. But what you’re doing is what every other wussy-gun-owner is doing: jack shit. When they come for you—and they will—you won’t fire a shot.
