RealJournalism<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KansasCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KansasCity</a> Mayor Quinton Lucas posted today about a senseless shooting claiming the life of a child in that city and another being wounded. While Mayor Lucas is right that there needs to be better supervision and that parents need to know where their kids are at all times, we need to point to the root cause -- the NRA.
