U.S. descends into terrifying everyday gun violence: columnist

OTTAWA, May 17 (Xinhua) -- Mass shootings have become so common that they are sending the Unites States into terrifying everyday gun violence, a columnist said in The Globe and Mail on Tuesday.

Gary Mason, the national affairs columnist, said that every year, the United States is on pace to set a new record for mass shootings and this year is no exception, with over 200 mass shootings (at least four people were killed or injured in each shooting) so far.
